Summary

This review paper discusses primary and secondary sources of microplastics, their ecological impacts across different environments, and policy strategies for control. It calls for stronger legislation, clearer responsibilities, improved technical standards, and better classification systems to address microplastic pollution.

Abstract As a new pollutant, microplastics have attracted more and more attention. This paper discusses the primary and secondary sources of microplastics and the ecological impact, and reveals the urgency of microplastics pollution control in the current environmental pollution. In order to deal with the deteriorating environmental problems caused by microplastics, it is proposed to strengthen policy support from the perspective of legislation, clarify relevant responsibilities, improve technical standards, and scientifically divide the types of microplastics. This study proposes to improve the ability to integrate the industrial chain from a technical perspective, and to control the production of microplastics from the source to solve the environmental pollution problems caused by microplastics.
