Microplastic abundance and characterization in municipal sewage sludge from cities across upper Ganga River, India: Apprising microplastic uptakes and their toxicity in the plant during sludge application in agriculture

Microplastic abundance and characterization in municipal sewage sludge from cities across upper Ganga River, India: Apprising microplastic uptakes and their toxicity in the plant during sludge application in agriculture

This study investigates the occurrence and characterization of microplastic (MP) in sewage sludge from 3 different cities along the Ganga River, India and their toxic impact while applying sludge for crop production. MP occurred in the ranges of 29.2–60.8 × 103 particles kg−1 with an abundance of 1–...
