Microplastics' occurrence, distribution, and chemical toxicity in backwater sediments from Puducherry Coast, Southeast India
Microplastics (MPs) are degraded particles (≤5.0 mm) that originate from macro-sized plastics that significantly impact ecosystems due to their extensive fragmentation. These lighter particles, impacted by various environmental factors, become negatively buoyant and sink into sediments. In the curre...
