Microplastic (MP) contamination has become a serious environmental concern that affects terrestrial environments, aquatic ecosystems, and human health. The current study assesses the presence, abundance, morphology of MPs present in surface water Rohtak district, Haryana, India, which is rapidly undergoing industrialization. While morphological studies were conducted through stereo microscopy field emission-scanning electron (FE-SEM), elemental composition polymers was analyzed attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR). results revealed significantly contaminated by polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene. Moreover, abundance found to be 16-28 particles/L with an average value 23 particles/L. Most had fibrous specifics being, fibers (43.9%), fragments (23.7%), films (17%), pellets (15.4%). exhibited size range 0.61-4.87 mm, measured at 2.03 ± 0.04 mm. Also, MP pollution load index values for bodies below 10, indicating low risk category. Though currently designated as "low risk," it important mitigation strategies brought over this juncture further prevent deterioration quality water. Thus, not only intends bring forth impact activities, industrial waste, open waste dumping, inadequate municipal management practices on increasing concentration but also highlights sustainable alternatives address emerging pollutant urban systems.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: particles/L, district fall into hazard categories less than 10. overall water, across all five areas, based color order: white/transparent (39.1%), black (15%), gray (9.1%), green (8.7%), blue (7.8%), red orange (6.3%), yellow (6.1%). dominant polyethylene (PE) (42%) polypropylene (41%) determined FTIR spectroscopy.

Despite the widespread presence of anthropogenic microparticles (AMs) in beach sediments, research on their occurrence Moroccan Mediterranean beaches is still limited. This study first report AM pollution four sandy along Tetouan coast (Morocco Mediterranean). The findings reveal an average concentration 483.12 ± 157.04 AMs/kg sediment. most common types were fibers (75.54%) and fragments (24.06%). AMs predominantly black, red, blue, measuring between 0.1 1 mm. evaluation index (AMPI) coefficient impact (CAMI) for area indicated a “very high abundance” “extreme” level impact. polymers identified these areas included PS, PE, PP, PET. Tourism, fishing, domestic activities, poor solid waste management practices are primary sources this region. To protect beaches, implementation consistent plastic strategy recommended.

Marine microplastics are a global environmental issue, and understanding their distributions in estuaries coastal areas is critical prerequisite for the effective sustainable management of microplastic pollution. Owing to lack methods that exist quantifying content, characterizing distribution difficult. The mass concentration an objective indicator reflects distribution. Therefore, formula calculating proposed through parameters number concentration, size, mesh addition proportions particles with different sizes shapes. On basis large amount existing measured data, concentrations calculated. It can be concluded polypropylene (PP; 72%) polyethylene (PE; 67%) most abundant ocean. Additionally, marine more common (102–103 mg/L) than open sea (0–10 mg/L). maximum surface water approximately 8.0 g/L. Moreover, pollution has significantly increased surrounding sewage treatment plants aquaculture farms.
