Study Finds High Microplastic Levels in Yamuna Near Taj Mahal

Study Finds High Microplastic Levels in Yamuna Near Taj Mahal

Imagine tiny plastic bits polluting the Yamuna River near the Taj Mahal.

A study found lots of these bits, called microplastics, especially close to the Taj Mahal.

They come from things like washed clothes and plastic packaging.

These microplastics are very small and can cause health problems if they get into our bodies.

Scientists are worried because the river is used for drinking water and fishing.

The study also shows the problem is not limited to this area, as microplastics are also found in other rivers.

Experts say these tiny plastics can carry bad chemicals and affect our health.

More studies are planned to check other rivers too.
