Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that constitutes a very serious environmental nuisance and menace to the globe in last decade. The damages from MPs include ecological imbalance of marine environment, flora, fauna these yet be understood African environment. sustainable development goals 14 15 (SDGs #14 #15) seek address challenges combating sustainability terrestrial lives respectively. Understanding pollution dynamics environment is crucial globally particular Africa soon. Hence, it imperative arrest this challenge as swiftly possible before collapse entire biomes. have been detected several matrices; soil, air, aquatic environments, plants, fishes, animals, humans. Their different source routes: ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact contribute an adverse effect (toxicity) all spheres life. To humans, limits their movement, leads shedding scales, inhibits growth, suppresses immune system, causes inflammation, coagulation, also blood cell toxicity among others, on long-run mortality was noted review. There physical, chemical biological transformation microplastics age, leading toxicity, mobility, great interaction. This has contributed high MP intake by fish other animals. For reason, researchers should delve into simpler cheaper ways analyzing its presence develop remediation strategies curb
