Microplastics In The Environment And Their Impact On Living Organisms

Abstract

Microplastics Are Plastic Particles Smaller Than 5 Mm That Originate From The Degradation Of Larger Plastic Materials Or Are Manufactured For Commercial Use. In Recent Years, Microplastic Pollution Has Become An Important Environmental Concern Because These Particles Are Now Found In Water, Soil, And Even The Atmosphere. Due To Their Small Size, Microplastics Can Be Easily Ingested By Living Organisms And May Accumulate In Biological Systems. The Present Paper Reviews The Sources, Distribution, And Possible Impacts Of Microplastics On Living Organisms, Particularly Aquatic Species. It Also Discusses The Ecological And Potential Human Health Implications Associated With Microplastic Pollution
