Presence of Microplastic in Water Bodies and Its Impact on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the presence of microplastics across freshwater, marine, and drinking water sources and assessed the associated risks to human and wildlife health, concluding that ubiquitous contamination in water bodies represents a serious and growing public health challenge that demands urgent regulatory attention.
Microplastics have been considered as a serious pollutant that has affected the environment over decades. Microplastics, being the smallest of particles, have been getting increased attention because of the serious threat that it causes to human health and wildlife....
