Marine litter is a pressing environmental issue that requires urgent attention from international and local authorities. The European Strategy Framework Directive emphasizes the need to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) in marine waters by 2020, with specific focus on litter. This study focuses Saronikos Gulf, highly polluted area Mediterranean, assess abundance, composition, distribution, possible sources of Data were collected various sources, including databases, published studies, fieldwork. analyzed both stranded beaches seafloor provide comprehensive understanding pollution area. Results revealed high prevalence plastic beaches, particularly polystyrene pieces cigarette butts. Litter density varied across locations, higher concentrations western part gulf. cleanliness index classified most as having "very low cleanliness." On seafloor, metal common types litter, decreasing increasing depth. contributes valuable insights into extent characteristics aiding development targeted solutions for its management conservation.

Over the last few decades, different types of plastics have been found in soil with documented or potential negative effects on environment, flora and fauna inhabiting soils, subsequently human health. This article is a global review consequences interactions soil, plants, microbes, organic inorganic pollutants depending land use. It focuses various polyethylene, widely used material strong presence both agricultural urban soils. Although chemical formula (C2H4)n remains same its classifications, behavior polyethylene varies directly depends density, branching, crystallinity, relative molecular mass, resulting many differences properties but also two main forms low high density. However, beyond composition plastics, climatic conditions that apply rural areas determine degree corrosion as well their shape size, affecting reactions indirectly affect them. In plants microbiome present mainly rhizosphere seem to dramatically influence where interaction all these parameters leads changes availability nutrients (phosphorus potassium), percentage matter nitrogen cycle. increase temperature decrease humidity are adsorption heavy metals surface plastics. considered inevitable, perhaps more thorough study them will lead reduction risks pollution environments. research provides promising perspective contribution MP PEs sustainable management systems.

In late December 2019, a novel coronavirus, COVID −19 originated in Wuhan city of China, and significant improvement not only the air quality but also water quality. Therefore, current study demonstrates changes parameters Ghaggar river, Punjab, India. The variations river have been examined during pre-, during, post-pandemic periods. maximum temperature for all monitoring stations was between 28 to 37°C pandemic period, whereas dissolved oxygen value varied from 3 7 mg/L. pH obtained reported be 7.7 8.0, except chhatbir station (7.6). biochemical demand found 18–53 Strong positive correlations were observed total coliform fecal pre (0.76) (0.89) Similar recorded BOD conductivity (0.75) (0.58)
