Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants characterized by persistence, cross-media transport, and complex pollutant interactions, posing serious ecotoxicological risks to ecosystems human health. Effective MPs management requires multi-faced, long-term, strategies involving targeted sampling, quantitative detection, comprehensive risk assessments, all of which entail significant resource investment. Despite advancements in remediation technologies, a holistic governance framework integrating these innovations remains underdeveloped. This review synthesizes current knowledge on MPs, elaborating their diverse morphologies, degradation pathways, role as vectors for toxic substances. State-of-the-art extraction techniques evaluated this article, including micropore adsorption using nanocomposites, alongside the incorporation advanced analytical tools such spectroscopic methods, electron microscopy, bioinformatics augment environmental forensics. also underscores necessity formulating robust global policies regulate pollution discusses potential biodegradation thermal sustainable solutions removal. By promoting an interdisciplinary approach, advocates coordinated response, science, policy frameworks, waste mitigate escalating impact well-being.

Microplastics are ubiquitous in marine environments and have been documented across all ocean compartments, especially surface waters, the world. Even though several studies identify presence of microplastics world’s five oceans, there remains an overt problem large inconsistencies their sampling, extraction, consequent quantification. Despite complexity these methodologies, researchers tried to explore microplastic abundance waters. Using a systematic review approach, dataset was derived from 73 primary undertaken since year 2010 following Oslo Paris Conventions (OSPAR) guidelines monitor harmonise debris. The results showed differences distribution waters oceans. overall concentration oceans ranged between 0.002 62.50 items/m3, with mean 2.76 items/m3. highest found Atlantic (4.98 items/m3), while least observed Southern Ocean (0.04 items/m3). While challenging, this paper recommends harmonisation separation, identification methods globe aid design appropriate mitigation strategies for reducing plastic pollution.
