Microplastic (MP) contamination poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. However, the absence of standardized protocols, detailed polymer identification, and sources identification hinders the development of targeted mitigation strategies, particularly in developing nations. There is ...

Understanding the role of coastal habitats as microplastic "sinks" and estimating associated ecological risks are crucial due to the unique biodiversity and socioeconomic importance of these ecosystems. This study was the first to assess microplastic (MP) retention efficiency in the sediments of fou...

This study investigated the extent of microplastic (MP) contamination in sediment and surface water from one of the largest shipbreaking yards along the Bay of Bengal coast. A total of 48 samples (24 each from sediment and water) were collected and analyzed to assess MP abundance, polymer characteri...

The global concern over trace and heavy metal contamination in aquatic environments necessitates the development of effective remediation strategies. Using aquatic plants for heavy metal removal is a relatively economical and sustainable technology worldwide. This study involved collecting sediment ...

Bangladesh, a leading fish-producing nation, faces limited understanding of the ecological risks posed by microplastic (MP) pollution in its freshwater aquaculture. This study evaluated MP load, polymer-specific toxicity, and cumulative ecological risks across species-specific ponds (Tilapia, Pangas...

This study provides a novel assessment of Microplastics (MPs) contamination in wild and cultured Asian seabass ( Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790), a significant species in global aquaculture and seafood consumption. A total of 30 samples were analyzed using H 2 O 2 digestion, density separation and FTI...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are emerging contaminants of growing concern due to their recent industrial applications and persistence in aquatic environments. Despite increasing global attention, knowledge of their prevalence and potential risks in South Asian estuaries remains limited. This study aim...

Microplastic (MP) pollution threatens aquatic ecosystems and food safety, yet organ‐specific contamination in tropical estuarine fish remains largely unexplored. In Bangladesh, where fish is a vital protein source, such assessments are critically lacking. This study quantified MPs in two commerciall...

Dried fish is a crucial protein source for coastal populations in developing countries, but it is becoming increasingly contaminated with heavy metals due to the use of traditional drying methods. This study assessed Cd, Cr, Pb, and Mn levels and their health risks in four commonly consumed dried fi...

Despite the ecological and socio-economic significance of the deltaic Meghna River Estuary, comprehensive assessments of heavy metal contamination and associated ecological risks remain limited. This study aims to: (i) quantify ten heavy metals in surface sediments across three main estuarine zones ...

in water and 135-607.5 items/kg in sediment. Significant spatial variation in MP concentrations (p < 0.05) was observed along the lake. Their variation was influenced by polymer properties, local hydro-geography, and point pollution sources. The majority of identified MPs were fibers measuring less ...

Microplastic pollution and microbial contamination are increasingly recognized as interconnected threats to freshwater quality and public health, yet their co-occurrence and interactions in coastal freshwater systems of developing regions remain poorly understood. To address this gap, microplastic c...
