Microplastics have emerged as one of

Position 1: Consequently, scientists are now warning that the long-term ecological damage caused by microplastic contamination may be irreversible without immediate global intervention.

Position 2: Once they enter the ocean, they are ingested by a wide range of organisms, from microscopic zooplankton to large marine mammals.

Position 3: Microplastics have emerged as one of the most pervasive forms of pollution in marine ecosystems worldwide.

Position 4: This ingestion disrupts feeding behaviour, causes internal injury, and introduces toxic chemicals into the food chain.

Position 5: These tiny particles, measuring less than five millimetres in diameter, originate from the breakdown of larger plastic debris as well as from industrial manufacturing processes.
