University of Delhi researchers find microplastics in all sampled Yamuna fish

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

University of Delhi researchers found microplastics in all 12 freshwater fish species sampled from the Yamuna, examining 220 fish from four sites in Haryana and Delhi.
Contamination was significantly higher in the Delhi stretch, which the study identifies as a high microplastic contamination zone, likely due to urban wastewater discharge and textile effluents.
Most particles were found in the gastrointestinal tracts of fish, but microplastics were also present in muscle tissue, which the researchers say suggests direct exposure risks for people who eat these fish.
The polymer mix was classified as Category IV, indicating a high ecological hazard.
