Overview

Editorial review on the distribution and ecological risks of microplastics in diverse systems, highlighting urgent management needs.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the contamination, ecological risks, and management strategies related to microplastics across various aquatic environments.
  • Reviewed regional assessments of microplastics in coastal and riverine ecosystems.
  • Examined ecological risks using multiple risk indices and identified polymer types through spectroscopic methods.
  • Evaluated adsorption-based technologies for microplastic removal.
  • Microplastics were found pervasive across the Odisha coast, impacting ecological systems.
  • Hydrological conditions significantly influenced microplastic transport dynamics in the Danube River.
  • Adsorption-based technologies show promise but face limitations in practical environmental applications.
