New research in India uncovers how heavy rainfall dramatically alters the types, sources, and risks of microplastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems, demanding urgent, targeted interventions.

A study by a team at IIT Bombay and their collaborators reveals how the majority of commercial use plastic degrades into micro and nano plastic particles.

Researchers categorized the microplastics found in Mumbai's mangroves to estimate the extent of the pollution from these tiny threats in the ecosystem.

Researchers at IIT Bombay devise a new technique to identify the presence of tiny invisible plastic pollutants using microwave radiation.

The theme of World Environment Day 2018 is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’. Take a look at the various efforts made by individuals and organisation to curb this pollution?
