 Why in news

  • A study commissioned by the Delhi government found microplastics in groundwater samples across Delhi, marking the first of its kind.

  • Microplastics were detected in groundwater from almost all 11 districts and also in the Yamuna River's water and soil, suggesting contamination from the river.

  • An interim report was submitted last November, but the Delhi government has not yet made it public. The final report is expected later this year.

Microplastic Impact

  • Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are associated with serious health risks, especially for women, including genetic, respiratory, and developmental issues.

  • Microplastics can absorb harmful chemicals, making them more toxic. 

  • There is no established safe limit for microplastics.

Case of Delhi

  • A 2017 study found microplastics in Delhi's tap water, and current water treatment systems cannot filter them out.

  • Environmental experts urge the Delhi government to release the study’s findings to aid further research on solutions.

  • The study, conducted by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), is ongoing with data from both pre- and post-monsoon periods being analyzed.
