An overview of the prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics in the Southern African development community: a potential risk to environmental and public health
Abstract Rapid urbanisation, industrial development, and inadequate solid waste management systems, finances, and even legal frameworks have exacerbated Southern African Development Community (SADC) plastic waste and micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) proliferation, raising serious public health and ecol...
