Synopsis

Microplastics are persistent pollutants in marine ecosystems, originating from sources such as plastic debris fragmentation, wastewater discharge, urban runoff, fishing, and maritime activities. Due to their small size and stability, they can accumulate in sediments, be ingested by marine organisms, and transfer through food webs while interacting with contaminants and microorganisms. This study summarizes the sources, impacts, and assessment techniques of microplastic pollution, highlighting the importance of reliable sampling, extraction, and identification methods, including visual observation, microscopy, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. It emphasizes the need for standardized protocols and integrated monitoring to improve understanding and management of microplastic pollution.
