The distribution and abundance of microplastics into the world are so extensive that many
scientists use them as key indicators of the recent and contemporary period defining a new …

Microplastics are an emerging global environmental contaminant that are affecting multiple
spheres. Despite their ubiquity in all spheres of life and ecology, little is known about the …

Recent research has made it clear that humans are ubiquitously exposed to microplastics
and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) via inhalation, dermal exposure and ingestion. Global plastic …

Scientific studies of microplastics have expanded since 2015, propelling the topic to the
forefront of scientific inquiry. Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment and pose a …

Microplastics are a pollutant of environmental concern. Their presence in food destined for
human consumption and in air samples has been reported. Thus, microplastic exposure via …

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted considerable interest on account of their ubiquitous
presence in the environment in recent years. In particular, nanoplastics (NPs), with smaller …

This systematic review aims to summarize the current knowledge on biological effects of
micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) on human health based on mammalian systems. An …

Microplastics are plastic particles, films, and fibers with a diameter of< 5 mm. Given their
long-standing existence in the environment and terrible increase in annual emissions …

Plastics are used all over the world. Unfortunately, due to limited biodegradation, plastics
cause a significant level of environmental pollution. The smallest recognized to date are …

Microplastics are a globally emerging contaminant in the environment, but little is known
about the potential risks of microplastics to human health. Possible exposure routes of …
