Microplastics are generated through a variety of processes, including the decomposition of larger plastics, industrial operations, and the incorporation of microbeads into personal care items. These substances have been detected in sediments, lakes, rivers, oceans, and even the air we breathe. The detrimental impacts of microplastics on the well-being of wildlife are extensively documented. These particles present hazards to marine organisms such as seabirds, fish, and sea turtles via ingestion or entanglement. Moreover, they might function as vectors through which detrimental substances infiltrate the food chain. To adequately tackle this matter, it is imperative to adopt a multidisciplinary strategy that encompasses policy interventions aimed at restricting plastic production and consumption, advancements in waste management technologies, public awareness initiatives promoting sustainable lifestyles, and ongoing research to comprehensively comprehend the problem's magnitude and ecological repercussions.
