Microplastic pollution in lakeshore sediments: the first report on abundance and composition of Phewa Lake, Nepal.

Microplastic pollution in a freshwater environment has captured the attention of the scientific world in recent years. Microplastic is a new area of research in the freshwater of Nepal. Hence, the present study aims to examine the concentration, distribution, and characteristics of microplastic pollution in the sediments of Phewa Lake.

Occurrence and Distribution of Microplastics from Nepal's Second Largest Lake.

Due to its harmful impact on biota, microplastic pollution is the top priority research in many countries. However, there is hardly any research on microplastic pollution in Nepal's freshwater. Therefore, the present research was accomplished in Phewa Lake to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of microplastic contamination in shoreline sediments.

Microplastic pollution in urban Lake Phewa, Nepal: the first report on abundance and composition in surface water of lake in different seasons.

Microplastics are man-made pollutants which have been detected in surface water and groundwater. Research on microplastic concentration in aquatic environment is attracting scientists from developing countries, but in Nepal no information regarding microplastic in freshwater system is available. Therefore, this study investigates the presence and abundance of microplastic in lake surface water of Phewa Lake, the second largest lake in Nepal.

Computed Tomographic Assessment of Renal Volume and Its Associative Factors Among Adults.

Background: Knowledge of normal renal volume is a vital parameter for clinical assessment of renal diseases because renal size is altered by various medical conditions. Variations in renal dimension in different populations and it's relation to individual's body parameters are evident. Different studies have recommended the need for measurement of renal dimension for specific population.
