A literature assessment was conducted to determine the current state of microplastics research in ASEAN countries focusing on 1) microplastics in water, sediment, and water organisms; 2) microplastics' sources and dispersion; and 3) microplastics' environmental consequences, including human toxicity. ASEAN countries contributed only about 5 % of the global scholarly papers on microplastics, with Indonesia contributing the most followed by Malaysia and Thailand. The lack of standard harmonized sampling and processing methodologies made comparisons between research difficult. ASEAN contributes the most to plastic trash ending up in the ocean, indicating a need for more work in this region to prevent plastic pollution. Microplastics are found in every environmental compartment; however, their distribution and environmental consequences have not been sufficiently investigated. There are very few studies on microplastics in the human blood system as well as respiratory organs like the lungs, indicating that more research is needed.
进行了文献评估，以确定东盟国家在以下方面的微塑料研究现状：1）水中、沉积物和水生生物中的微塑料；2）微塑料的来源和分散；3）微塑料的环境后果，包括人类毒性。东盟国家仅贡献了全球微塑料学术论文的约 5%，印度尼西亚的贡献最大，其次是马来西亚和泰国。缺乏标准化的协调采样和处理方法使得研究之间的比较变得困难。东盟国家对海洋中塑料垃圾的贡献最大，这表明该地区需要做更多的工作来防止塑料污染。微塑料存在于每个环境部分；然而，它们的分布和环境后果尚未得到充分调查。关于人类血液系统和肺部等呼吸器官中的微塑料的研究非常少，这表明需要进行更多的研究。
