TLDR
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).About:

Occurrence of microplastics and phthalate esters in urban runoff: A focus on the Persian Gulf coastline
TL;DR: In this article , the first results on MP and PAE levels in the urban runoff into the northern part of the Persian Gulf during the dry season were presented, and the results showed that urban runoff is a main source of microplastic contaminants that are discharged into the Persian gulf.

Microplastics pollution and risk assessment in water bodies of two nature reserves in Jilin Province: Correlation analysis with the degree of human activity.
TL;DR: In this article, the content and composition of microplastics in 19 water samples were investigated in Chagan lake and Xianghai, and the degree of human activity was quantified to analyze the correlation of MPs abundance.

Microplastics in the Koshi River, a remote alpine river crossing the Himalayas from China to Nepal.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the distribution and sources of microplastics in the surface waters and sediments of five tributaries of the Koshi River (KR), a typical alpine river in the Himalayas between China and Nepal.
