PUTRAJAYA: The government is conducting in-depth research on the effects and presence of microplastics in Malaysian waters after alarming levels were found in the country's rivers, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof (pic).
Significant levels of microplastics, plastic particles smaller than 5mm, were found in four key river basins – the Klang and Langat Rivers in Selangor, the Kelantan River basin, as well as the Sarawak River basin.
