Abstract Background Microplastics (MPs) contaminate the global marine and terrestrial
ecosystems. This environmental contamination can enter the food chain, with MPs found in …

Plastic pollution is a major issue worldwide, generating massive amounts of smaller plastic
particles, including microplastics (MPs). Their ubiquitous nature in the environment but also …

With most of the plastics ever produced now being waste, slowly degrading and fragmenting
in the environment, microplastics (MPs) have become an emerging concern regarding their …

Increasing studies of plastisphere have raised public concern about microplastics (MPs) as
vectors for pathogens, especially in aquatic environments. However, the extent to which …

Microplastics (MPs) are contaminants of emerging concern that have gained considerable
attention during the last few decades due to their adverse impact on living organisms and …

Recently, studies on microplastics (MPs) have increased rapidly due to the growing
awareness of the potential health risks related to their occurrence. The first part of this review …

Emerging studies have presented an initial picture of the toxic effects of exposure to
environmental micro-and nanoplastics. They have indicated that micro-and nanoplastics …

The effects of plastic debris on the environment and plant, animal, and human health are a
global challenge, with micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) being the main focus. MNPs are found …

Technological advances, coupled with increasing demands by consumers, have led to a
drastic increase in plastic production. After serving their purposes, these plastics reach our …

As small pieces of plastics known as microplastics pollute even the remotest parts of Earth,
research currently focuses on unveiling how this pollution may affect biota. Despite …
