Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern due to its omnipresence and
degradation to smaller particles. The potential toxicological effects of micro-and nanoplastic …

The effects of microplastics (MP) on aquatic organisms are currently the subject of intense
research. Here, we provide a critical perspective on published studies of MP ingestion by …

Microplastics contamination is widespread in the environment leading to the exposure of
both humans and other biota. While most studies overemphasize direct toxicity of …

Plastic is one of the most commonly produced and used materials in the world due to its
outstanding features. However, the worldwide use of plastics and poor waste management …

In recent decades, much attention has been paid to microplastic pollution, and research on
microplastics has begun to grow exponentially. However, microplastics research still suffers …

Microplastics (MPs) pose a global threat to marine ecosystems, little is known about the
factors that influence their bioavailability. Microplastics have the ability to adsorb …

Abstract Microplastics (1–1000 μm) are ubiquitous in the marine, freshwater and terrestrial
environments. These microsized plastics are considered freshwater pollutants of emerging …

Microplastics have become ubiquitous in all environments. Yet, their environmental fate is
still largely unknown. Plastic fragmentation is a key component of plastic degradation, which …

Microplastics are emerging pollutants that have been widely reported in aquatic ecosystems.
Based on the analysis of environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics in global …
