Microplastics in Sri Lankan freshwater ecosystems: abundance, characterization, and sources in two major reservoirs
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2025-05) Lahiru ,A. A. S; De Silva ,D. S. M; Amarathunga ,A. A. D; Narangoda, S. R. C. N. K
Microplastic (MP) contamination is a global concern, yet its impact on Sri Lanka’s reservoirs remains largely unexplored. These reservoirs provide vital ecosystem services and regulate river runoff.

Assessment of microplastic pollution in water and sediment
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2025-05) Chandana N. T; De Silva, D. S. M; Amarathunga ,A. A. D; Hettige N. D; Perera ,H. A. C. C
Microplastics (≤5 mm) are emerging global pollutants. Their accumulation in freshwater ecosystems converts these into contaminant sinks, making microplastic pollution a significant global issue. While numerous studies have examined microplastics in marine ecosystems, research on microplastic pollution in Sri Lankan rivers remains limited.

Exploring bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of selected Sri Lankan medicinal plants for skincare innovation
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2025-05) Werellagama,W. M. R. S. S; E. M. R. K. B,Edirisinghe
Skin cancer, premature aging, and wrinkle formation are major global health concerns caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation. There is an emerging trend for applying natural plant extracts as a solution of antioxidants and other bio-active compounds.

Interpretation of Cr(III) adsorption by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) biosorbent through kinetics and isotherm analysis
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2005-05) Amarasinghe,A. P. N. H. D; Priyantha,N
Water contamination by chromium species is a serious environmental and health issue, making its removal from water sources a top priority. Adsorption is a wellestablished method for heavy metal removal, with biosorbents emerging as an eco-friendly and costeffective alternative to synthetic adsorbents. In this study, water hyacinth (WH) powder extracted from live plants was explored as a natural biosorbent for removing Cr(III) from synthetic contaminated water.

A study of microplastics present in edible salts in Sri Lanka
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2025-05) Pathirage,P. T. D; Weerasiri, K. C; Pathirana,H. M. K. K
Microplastics (MP) are defined as plastics with a size less than 5 mm. Plastic debris, the origin of MP, has become a significant environmental pollutant. MP can cause more severe diseases in the respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems.
