Abstract

This comprehensive exploration delves into the pervasive presence and ecological implications of microplastics, unravelling a global tapestry of contamination in aquatic environments. From oceans to sediments, the study examines the diverse impact and distribution patterns of these microscopic pollutants. With a focus on oceans, seas, and freshwater ecosystems, we navigate the complex journey of microplastics, shedding light on their extensive reach and persistent environmental concerns. The research sheds light on the intricate threads of contamination, revealing the sources and distribution across diverse regions, from Asia and Europe to Africa, North America, Antarctica, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. As we sift through the waves, this study underscores the need for a deeper understanding of the complexity surrounding microplastic pollution to guide effective mitigation strategies and safeguard aquatic ecosystems.
