Overview

Review addresses microplastic pollution, ecological risks, and solutions in aquatic systems in Mexico.

Key Points

  • This review aims to aggregate and analyze studies related to microplastic pollution in Mexico and explore potential solutions to mitigate ecological risks.
  • Integration of studies addressing ecological risks associated with microplastics in water and sediment.
  • Discussion of removal strategies including physical/chemical methods and bioremediation.
  • Evaluation of current research gaps and recommendations for standardized protocols.
  • Microplastics such as fibers, fragments, and films were found in aquatic environments and sediments.
  • High ecological risks have been identified in specific aquatic compartments, affecting wildlife.
  • Flocculation was highlighted as a cost-effective method for microplastic removal from freshwater.
