Microplastic pollution, a threat to marine ecosystem and human health: a short review
TL;DR: Because of the recent threat of microplastics to marine biota as well as on human health, it is important to control excessive use of plastic additives and to introduce certain legislations and policies to regulate the sources of plastic litter.
Journal Article
Microplastics in our oceans and marine health
TL;DR: The potential of microplastics to absorb various harmful hydrophobic pollutants from the surrounding environment indirectly transfers these contaminants in the food chain is discussed in this paper, and various policies and rules must be formulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed discussion on the persistence of microplastics in the Mediterranean Sea that have been identified in surface water and also in sediments and deep sea-floor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychrotolerant Sphingobacterium kitahiroshimense LT-2 Isolated from Dhundi Glacier, Himachal Pradesh: Origin Prediction and Future Application.
TL;DR: Preliminary study of the strain based on metabolic profiling through HPLC showed many new metabolites were secreted by the bacterium when grown in presence of different sugar medium at 28 °C, and predicted that air masses and dust associated microbial cells transportation phenomena may be applicable for the origin of this species in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
