Plastics pollution, persistent chemical contamination and inadequately treated wastewater are three key aspects that hinder access to safe affordable water for all. We argue a strong priority on pollution avoidance, research remediation, tighter regulation monitoring must be implemented make progress.

Biocomposting at national and regional levels has recently been recognized as one of the feasible, nature-based solutions to prevent accumulation reuse biodegradable waste in enhanced effective mitigation measures for urban semi-urban management. Recent research mainly focused on organic compost contamination, negative effects MP soil systems have extensively studied. According current research, used fertilizer farmland contains many microplastics. In this context, microplastics (MPs) regarded a global environmental problem an emerging contaminant. The physico-chemical properties water samples were analyzed by APHA AOAC methods. extraction was done using density separation. study, agricultural waste-based biocompost production collected from four different nurseries areas Coimbatore city. physicochemical (including heavy metal content) tested par/equal/lower than Indian standards. Interestingly, samples, 85% microplastic fragments 15% fiber types identified only BC-B BC-C, respectively, with colors such red, brown, blue, light yellow transparency. However, no found BC-A BC-D. Microplastic polymers polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polypropylene (PP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) through ATR-FTIR analysis. results suggest that gardening may lead terrestrial environments, which negatively impact plant health. This study contributes growing into contamination its potential agriculture ecosystems.
