Authors- Abhishek Kumar Sharma, Assistant Professor Dr Amrita Lal, Ram Deepak

Abstract-Micro plastics have become one of the most pressing threats to our planet’s biodiversity due to their ubiquitous presence and detrimental effects on wildlife. Micro plastics are microscopic plastic fibres or fragments that can be seen in aquatic and fragile ecosystems like wetlands anywhere from polar to coastal waters. Studies show that micro plastics are ingested by various organisms and cause physical, physiological as well as teratogenic harm even as they may transfer toxins via the food web. The objectives of this research include further insight into the impacts and methods to curb micro plastic pollution on marine life. The purpose of the study is to find knowledge through a detailed analysis of the work done till date as well as through literature review on ecological impacts related to micro plastic and wildlife.
