Overview

This review examines microplastic pollution in aquatic systems, highlighting risks and mitigation strategies for sustainable management.

Key Points

  • This research aims to synthesize knowledge on the occurrence, risks, and mitigation of microplastics in natural waters.
  • Comprehensive literature review on microplastic pollution in freshwater and marine systems.
  • Analysis of sources, distribution patterns, and environmental behavior of microplastics.
  • Evaluation of current mitigation strategies and their effectiveness.
  • Microplastics are prevalent in both freshwater and marine systems, primarily due to human activities.
  • Freshwater pollution is linked to wastewater, urban runoff, and agriculture; marine transport is affected by environmental dynamics.
  • Identifies gaps in experimental conditions vs. real-world exposure, complicating risk assessments.
