Researchers quantified microplastics in sediment samples collected from four sites along India's Sabarmati River, providing baseline data on how these particles accumulate in river-bottom sediments and suggesting that river sediments may serve as long-term sinks for plastic pollution.

Study Type Environmental

The present research work focuses on the quantification of microplastics in Sabarmati river sediments (Gujarat, India). Sediment samples were collected from four different locations along the stretch of the Sabarmati River. Gravimetric analysis was done to quantify...
