Toxic effects of microplastics in aquatic environments and the pathways to sustainable management
Puntos clave
This research investigates the harmful effects of microplastics in aquatic environments and explores management strategies.
Analyzed the breakdown processes of synthetic polymer wastes
Examined the impact of microplastics on aquatic ecosystems
Evaluated current management practices for sustainability
Identified significant environmental hazards posed by microplastics
Demonstrated pathways through which microplastics affect aquatic life
Highlighted the need for improved management strategies to mitigate risks
Resumen
Environmental hazards are caused by untreated synthetic polymer wastes, which are harmful to the environment after being gradually broken down into microsized particles through a number of processes.
