Estuarine contamination by Microplastics (MPs) is a mater of serious concern since these areas offer the society valuable ecosystem, economic, and recreational services such as breeding feeding ground for fish, carbon fixation, nutrients recycling port development. The Meghna estuary, located along Bengal delta coast, provides livelihoods thousands peoples in Bangladesh, served national Hilsha shad. Therefore, knowledge understanding on any kind pollution including MPs this estuary essential. In study, abundance, characteristics assessment from surface water were investigated first time. results demonstrated that present all samples abundance ranged 33.33 to 316.67 item/m3 with mean value 128.89 ± 67.94 item/m3. Morphological analyses resulted four types fibers (87%), fragments (6%), foam (4%), films (3%) majority being colored (62%) smaller (<0.5 mm) size (88%). On other hand, FTIR analysis chemical confirmed five polymers, polythene (PE), polystyrene (PS), terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC). area was determined be moderately severely contaminated based factor (CF) values (6.18 2.08 2.50 1.0) pollutant load index (PLI) (1.94 0.33) > 3-6 CF, >1 PLI. These can utilized develop policy protection important environment.

Microplastics (MPs) as hazardous contaminants has drawn the rapid attention of general public due to their omnipresence and adverse impacts on ecosystems human health. Despite this, understanding MPs contamination levels in estuarine along Bay Bengal coast remains very limited. This research focused presence, spatial distribution, morpho-chemical characteristics ecological implications water sediment from five key estuaries (Meghna, Karnaphuli, Matamuhuri, Bakkhali, Naf rivers) within delta. Out estuaries, Meghna exhibited least amount both surface (150.00 ± 65.62 items/m3) (30.56 9.34 items/kg). In contrast, highest occurrence was recorded Karnaphuli river (350.00 69.22 Matamuhuri (118.33 26.81 ANOVA indicated a statistically significant distinction (p < 0.01) among examined estuaries. Most identified were fibers <0.5 mm size samples. Transparent dominant (42.28%) (45.22%). Besides violet, red, blue, pink green colored also observed. Various polymer types, including PE, PP, PET, PS, Nylon, EVA, ABS, detected, with PE being one. Based risk index (PHI), classified hazard level V, signifying severe MP contamination. However, potential (RI), pollution load (PLI) moderate levels. study offers initial insights into caused by major delta, which policymakers can utilize implement suitable management strategies.
