TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted the first study on abundance, distribution, characteristics, and risk assessment of microplastics in the sediment of Karnaphuli River estuary, Bangladesh.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used the Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) method to detect trace and heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Hg, Ni, Ca, Co, Se, Rb, Sr, and As.

TL;DR: Analysis of heavy metal contamination and associated human health risks in cultured shrimp and aquaculture sludge collected from three shrimp farms of the Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh suggested that Pb and Cr may pose non-carcinogenic health effects, although carcinogenic risks (CR) values were acceptable for consumers.

TL;DR: In this paper , the liver, gills, and muscle of farmed and wild Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) fish from the northern Bay of Bengal were evaluated to quantify and compare contamination levels and related human health risk.

TL;DR: In this paper , a first attempt to describe the occurrence, spatial distribution, and ecological risk of microplastics (MPs) in Kuakata beach sediments was made, where a total of 24 surface sediment samples were collected from the intertidal zone of the beach and MPs were extracted using the density separation method and a stereomicroscope.
