Indian inland aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as emerging contaminants, potentially impacting public and ecosystem health. This comprehensive review discusses the current state of knowledge on MP contamination mechanistic process understanding in It highlights gaps regarding data methodological differences sampling sample processing that can lead to contrasting results. Most studies reviewed here provided evidence water, sediment certain indicator species ecosystems at specific locations times. Significant seasonal variations concentrations for pre-, during post-monsoon periods. We found only a few considered inherent spatio-temporal variability concentrations, intricate interplay with hydrological key parameters has largely overlooked. However, order improve our how MPs are transported within these (e.g., river networks) decide potential pollution mitigation, it is imperative link concentration physico-chemical characteristics information such flow velocity or discharge. will provide loads help establish loading functions needed better understand impacts

Microplastic Contamination in Agricultural Soils Across India: A Systematic Review of Studies and Research Gaps

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 4, 2025

Microplastic contamination in India has been extensively studied aquatic ecosystems, yet its implications for agricultural soils remain insufficiently addressed. This research paper bridges this gap by analyzing data from 73 studies published between 2020 and 2024, synthesizing findings on microplastic across diverse ecosystems assessing their potential impact land. While most focus microplastics beaches, rivers, lakes, ponds, only a limited number directly investigate soils, highlighting significant gap. Key sources identified include irrigation with polluted water, atmospheric deposition, industrial discharge, inadequate waste management, practices such as plastic mulch use. In Northern India, extensive networks sourcing water the Ganga, Yamuna, Sutlej rivers pose risks of infiltration into farmland. Western experiences high due to effluents, urban waste, practices. Southern Eastern coastal regions face marine estuarine pollution, potentially affecting soil crop health. Additionally, Northeastern shows threats microplastic-laden bodies deposition near lands. The review underscores urgent need standardized methodologies, comprehensive sampling, targeted pathways ecosystems. By identifying high-risk zones knowledge gaps, study provides foundation future aimed at mitigating growing threat pollution India’s sector. Addressing these challenges is crucial ensuring health, food security, environmental sustainability.
