  • Abstract:
  • Microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems has emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its pervasive presence and potential ecological and human health impacts. This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the sources, distribution, and ecological consequences of microplastic pollution in freshwater environments The study examine the pathways through which microplastics enter these ecosystems, including urban runoff, wastewater effluents, and atmospheric deposition. The paper highlights the detrimental effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms, ranging from physical harm to chemical toxicity, and discusses the implications for biodiversity and ecosystem services. Additionally, we evaluate current methodologies for detecting and quantifying microplastic contamination, identifying key challenges and areas for improvement. A critical analysis of existing remediation strategies is conducted, encompassing physical, chemical, and biological approaches to mitigate microplastic pollution. We also explore innovative technologies and policy frameworks aimed at reducing microplastic release and enhancing ecosystem resilience. The findings underscore the urgent need for integrated management practices and collaborative efforts to address the multifaceted issue of microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems. This paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge essential for developing effective solutions to safeguard aquatic environments and public health from microplastic pollution.
