Research Abstract

One way to reduce plastic pollution is by detecting main hotspots and reducing their primary sources. More studies are needed to improve our understanding of microplastics' presence and impact on marine systems. Therefore, this study aims to understand microplastic abundance and characteristics in the Chao Phraya estuary. Also, to determine the exposure of zooplankton organisms to microplastic ingestion and determine the exposition risk of their predators, including the effects of rain and tidal currents
