The microplastics effects and possible biological solutions in marine environment: a review
The ubiquitous plastic pollutant, occurring as the microplastic (<5 mm) particles in the marine environments. Pristine regions include ocean in Arctic and Antarctica were observed with the presence of marine plastic pollution contributed by few potential transportation routes. The existence of ma...

The ubiquitous plastic pollutant, occurring as the microplastic (<5 mm) particles in the marine environments.
