This study reveals significant microplastics presence in the Jamuna River, indicating high ecological risks to aquatic life and ecosystems.

Microplastic contamination in the Jamuna River shows alarming levels, posing serious ecological risks.
In the study, a total of 386 microplastic particles were identified, with varying sizes and compositions.
Risk assessment models place the river's pollution under significant hazard categories, indicating extreme danger.
High hazard polymers like PVC and PS present a risk of toxic effects on aquatic organisms and humans.

Siddique et al. (2025) studied this question.
