The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled
regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving …

It is increasingly recognized that the ubiquity of convenient single-use plastic has resulted in
a global plastic pollution challenge, with substantial environmental and health …

Microplastic fibers make up a large proportion of microplastics found in the environment,
especially in urban areas. There is good reason to consider synthetic textiles a major source …

The ubiquity of plastic materials in the environment has been, for long, a matter of
discussion. Smaller particles, named microplastics (< 5 mm), gained attention more recently …

The gravity of the impending threats posed by microplastics (MPs) pollution in the
environment cannot be over-emphasized. Several research studies continue to stress how …

Plastic litter is on the rise where plastic waste ends up in undesignated areas such as the
coastal shorelines, where the plastic is exposed to environmental conditions. As a result, the …

Synthetic fibers represent one of the main forms of microplastics in marine environment and
recently were related to household washings as a source. Although other types of fiber, like …

Urbanization itself is a major and furthermost imperative contributor to the release of
microplastics into the environments. As cities grow and develop, more plastic products are …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become one of our time's most consequential issue. These
micropolymeric particles are ubiquitously distributed across all natural and urban …
