Marine Pollution from Plastics and Microplastics
Author(s): Jil Sheth and Dhvanil Shah
The review discusses the ways in which marine pollution proliferates due to plastics and microplastics and provides an overview of the possible influences of the plastics in water body along with its detrimental effects. Erosion and degradation of plastics on the beaches end up in their surface embrittlement in addition to microcracking, it yields micro-particles which are then carried by carriers into the water-body by the tidal waves or winds. Opposing the inorganic fine particles existing in ocean water-body, microplastics tend to accumulate into the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by breakdown and detachment. The POPs are distributed amongst many types of plastics that pollute the environment. Most of the pollutants under POPs polluting water show it is consequent due to micro-... view more»
