“…Therefore, a combination of these techniques is often necessary to obtain accurate and comprehensive data on microplastic pollution across diverse environmental compartments. Lessons learned from case studies conducted across different regions, addressing challenges, comparing results, and evaluating the degree of success, collectively represent the most effective strategy for initiating standardized methodologies in MPs research [51][52][53][54].…”

Microplastics (MPs), microscopic particles originating from plastic products, have emerged as a persistent environmental challenge, posing threats to both ecosystems and human health. Their omnipresence, extending from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans and infiltrating the bodies of humans and animals, requires urgent attention. In the face of escalating annual plastic production and inefficient waste management, where 79% of plastic production ends up in landfill sites or enters the environment, MPs multiply as its consequence. This emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive global framework that transcends borders to systematically address and control the growth of MPs. In response, our research conducts an in-depth investigation and proposes a seven-step strategy, providing a global perspective for mitigating microplastic pollution. The proposed approach begins with initial research steps and closes in predicting the remediation of areas impacted by microplastic pollution.
