The fragments of the plastics smaller than 5 mm are called microplastics. These are widely distributed contaminants in aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial environments. Microplastics are released into the environment due to the extensive use of plastics and microplastics for various purposes, such as mulching, commercial organic fertiliser, and cosmetics. In addition, microplastics are also released from industries like polymer, textiles, and transport industries. The mismanagement of plastic garbage also builds up in the environment and releases microplastics.
