Microplastics (MPs) have recently gained attention as emerging environmental contaminants, yet knowledge of their distribution, sources, and risks in freshwater lakes remains limited. This study examined the occurrence and risk of MPs in water and sediment samples from eight locations in Mohamaya Lake (Bangladesh) collected in April and May 2023. MPs were identified using stereomicroscopy and FTIR, revealing concentrations of 20-95 particles/L in water and 550-1900 particles/kg (d.
