Plastics have become indispensable in modern society, with extensive applications in electronics, transportation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, packaging, and food systems. However, their widespread use has led to the emergence of microplastics (plastic particles ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm), which represent a pervasive...

Microplastic (MP) contamination is a growing environmental challenge impacting
freshwater and native river systems. This review synthesizes current knowledge on MP
sources (primary and secondary fragmentation), their entry into rivers (e.g.,
wastewater, runoff, atmospheric deposition), and their complex fate influen...
