Summary
Researchers developed and tested a new method for sampling and extracting microplastics from surface water in Elechi Creek, Nigeria, aiming to improve the reliability and reproducibility of microplastic monitoring in freshwater environments across the developing world.
The geometric increase in the production and exploitation of plastics worldwide has several advantages as well as disadvantages due to the mismanagement of plastic wasteWaste . These wasteWaste products find its way into the aquatic body. Microplastics are plastic...
