Unlike other structures in the vicinity of the Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt, the Changotaung anticline is one of Bangladesh's least explored structures. An attempt has been made for the first time to understand and document sedimentary deposits, environments, structure, and tectonic activity based on the high-resolution outcrop and reconnaissance study with the knowledge of broad-brush geology. We found that Changotaung is a symmetrical box-folded structure with an extensive western flank where the amount of dip varies between 11° and 45°.

Despite the high potential for microplastics (MPs) pollution in Bangladesh, the presence of MPs in the industrial region has largely been unexplored in Bangladesh. So, this study was conducted to determine whether MP pollution is prevalent in the industrial soil of Bangladesh and the extent of its toxicity. To examine MPs, a total of 12 soil samples were collected from the industrial region of Narayanganj, and a stereoscopic microscope was used to visually identify the MPs.

Pollution generated by microplastics (MPs) has become an issue of global concern because to its severe effects on the general health of the ecosystem, especially the health of the terrestrial environment. There is a scarcity of data based on MP contamination research in Bangladesh that is currently available, and no work on MP contamination has previously been done in an industrial region of Bangladesh. As a result, this research was undertaken with the aim of determining whether or not MP contamination is present in the industrial area of the Barapukuria region in Bangladesh.
