  • The Karnafullly River in Bangladesh is facing microplastic contamination, with a study analyzing its surface water, sediment, and aquatic species for microplastic presence.
  • Concentrations varied significantly among surface water (0.57 to 6.63 items/L), sediment (143.33 to 1240 items/kg), and biota (5.93 to 13.17 items/species), with fibers and small-sized particles being the most common.
  • The research suggested that daily, the Bay of Bengal receives about 61.3 million microplastic items, and the estimated annual consumption of these microplastics by individuals in Bangladesh could range from 4015 to 7665 items.
