Summary

Microplastic pollution of terrestrial and marine environments is a recognized global concern, yet critical information on sources, transport pathways, distribution, and health impacts remains fragmented and difficult to interpret for regulators. Improving data quality and harmonizing monitoring frameworks are essential steps toward effective policy responses that can meaningfully reduce microplastic exposure.

Microplastics pollution of terrestrial and marine environmental compartments is an issue of concern worldwide, but information on the key sources, pathways, distribution, and impacts is still scarce in many cases, fragmentary at best, and typically difficult to...
