Characteristics, seasonal distribution and surface degradation features of microplastic pellets along the Goa coast, India
S. Veerasingam,Mahua Saha,V. Suneel,P. Vethamony,Andrea Carmelita Rodrigues,Sourav Bhattacharyya,Brundabana Naik +6 more
TL;DR: Characteristics of MPP suggest that they could be originated primarily from ocean-based sources, and the winds and surface currents during SW monsoon are the driving forces for the transportation and deposition of MPPs on the Goa beaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of 2015 flood on the distribution and occurrence of microplastic pellets along the Chennai coast, India.
TL;DR: The sources, distribution, surface features, polymer composition and age of microplastic pellets (MPPs) in surface sediments along the Chennai coast during March 2015 and November 2015 were characterised using a Stereoscopic microscope and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of potential ecological risk of microplastics in the coastal sediments of India: A meta-analysis.
M. Ranjani,S. Veerasingam,R. Venkatachalapathy,M. Mugilarasan,Andrei Bagaev,Vladimir A. Mukhanov,P. Vethamony +6 more
TL;DR: The first attempt to comprehend the ecological risk of microplastics (MPs) in sediments along the Indian coast using meta-data was made in this paper, where the authors evaluated the quality of sediments using three metrics: polymer hazard index (PHI), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (PERI).
Heavy Metals Concentration in Four Commercially Valuable Marine Edible Fish Species from Parangipettai Coast, South East Coast of India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured heavy metal concentrations in four marine fish species (Nematolosa nasus, Aleper para, Atropus atropus and Parastromateus niger) from Parangipettai Coast, south east coast of India in September 2008 to understand the toxicity of such heavy metals.
