Summary
Researchers reviewed the accumulation of microplastics across aquatic ecosystems worldwide, finding that plastic particles have reached even remote water bodies and pose threats to aquatic organisms through ingestion, physical harm, and the transport of toxic chemical pollutants.
Plastic pollution in the aquatic ecosystem has been a growing environmental problem worldwide where it has pervaded everywhere even in the most remote areas. Plastic particles (smaller than 5 mm; microplastics) have been accumulated at higher level (i.e.,...
