Abstract:
The escalating challenges posed by the expanding global population have amplified the gravity of water pollution, emerging as a pivotal concern that demands immediate attention in our rapidly developing world. Aquatic ecosystems are frequently impacted by the presence of microplastic fibers, emerging as pervasive contaminants. Comprehensive scientific analysis revealed the omnipresence of microplastic particles, as they were detected in every single water sample collected from Sassoon dock examined during rainy and post rainy season using stereomicroscope and ATR-FTIR spectroscopic detection method. Notably, microplastic particles ranging from 100 to 500 µm in size and blue colour exhibited a predominant presence, indicating their extensive distribution within the studied ecosystem. This study marks a significant milestone as one of the initial reports to effectively identify and assess the abundance of microplastic particles, offering invaluable insights into their far-reaching implications on the marine organisms inhabiting this specific region of Mumbai, west coast of Maharashtra.
