Microplastics in African freshwater sediments: A systematic review of characteristics, abundance and analytical methods
Microplastic contamination of freshwater ecosystems is a growing environmental concern due to their persistence and potential to cause ecological risk. This study systematically reviews the abundance and characteristics of microplastics and the analytical techniques used to detect them in African fr...
