Abstract:
Microplastics (MPs) are small fragments of plastics. These fragments are abundant in nature and can enter the environment of freshwater from wastewater effluent and surface run-off, degraded plastic waste, atmospheric deposition, and industrial effluent. These fragments are never destroyed but converted into another phase. These fragments are a cause of air contamination and occur in airborne particles. Some particles are biodegradable while some are non-biodegradable. Biodegradable particles can be disintegrated by the action of microorganisms or in the occurrence of ultraviolet (UV) light. Thermo-analytical, spectroscopic, and chemical processes are the available popular methods for the estimation of the size and chemical composition of these particles. The present study discusses the uses, health hazards, transport, and sources of MPs particles.
