ClearGlobal plastic pollution, sustainable development, and plastic justice
This review examines how plastic pollution, including microplastics, undermines sustainable development goals and disproportionately affects lower-income nations that lack waste management infrastructure. The authors propose a "plastic justice" framework to address the human rights dimensions of plastic pollution, which poses health risks to communities through contaminated water, food, and air.
Environmental Degradation and Legal Accountability: Strengthening India’s Response to Pollution and Climate Crisis
Not relevant to microplastics — this appears to be a legal and policy paper about environmental degradation and accountability in India, with an abstract that inconsistently describes a study on waste management education among women; it does not present original microplastic research.
Environmental legislation analysis improvement approach of global marine plastic pollution from the perspective of holistic system view
This review analyzes international laws and regulations aimed at preventing marine plastic pollution, from United Nations conventions to individual country legislation. The authors find that current legal frameworks are fragmented and fail to address the full scope of the problem, including microplastics entering human bloodstreams through the food chain. They propose a comprehensive Marine Plastics Convention that emphasizes environmental justice and stricter risk prevention measures.
