Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm
in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (< 1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In …

Anthropogenic microfibers, a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, can be categorized as
synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural according to material of origin and production process …

Microplastics are contaminants of emerging concern that have been widely detected in
aquatic environments over the past decades. While in recent years an increasing number of …

Limited attention has been given to the presence of MPs in the atmospheric environment,
particularly in indoor environments where people spend about 90% of their time. This study …

The abundance and distribution of microplastic (< 5 mm) has become a growing concern,

Drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are the
first and last hurdles for the prevention of microplastics (MPs) pollution, respectively. With …

Wastewater treatment plants are a significant pathway of microplastics (MPs) to aquatic
environments. To develop suitable management options and reduce microplastic emissions …

Microplastic pollution is an issue of concern due to the accumulation rates in the marine
environment combined with the limited knowledge about their abundance, distribution and …
