Microplastics have been detected as widespread in an aquatic environment at the microscale, also known plastic debris. They continuously increased due to increase population, production of synthetic plastics and poor waste management. are ubiquitous slowly degrade soil water. emerging contaminants that received attention from research communities public audiences over last few years. high stability can absorb several other pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, etc. After entering environment, they accumulate persist for a long time. create serious threat freshwater ecosystems human health. These particles cause physical damage organisms. Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared visual identification, density separation, microscopic method, chemical thermos-analytical method hyperspectral imaging commonly approaches identification quantification microplastics. The noticed concentration microplastics depends on analysis sampling location technique. authors reviewed sources, health impact, transport treatment environments detail. This study will provide baseline data researchers do more microplastic pollution future.
