Microplastics pollution is major threat to ecosystems and is impacting abiotic and biotic
components. Microplastics are diverse and highly complex contaminants that transport other …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are an emerging pollutant which have received increasing
concern in recent years. Microplastics pose a serious hazard and potential risk to the …

The omnipresent micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) in urban waters arouse great public
concern. To build a MP/NP-free urban water system, enormous efforts have been made to …

Microplastics, defined as particles< 5 mm in diameter, are emerging environmental
pollutants that pose a threat to ecosystems and human health. Biofilm degradation of …

The COVID-19 epidemic seriously threats the human society and provokes the panic of the
public. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are widely utilized for frontline health workers …

Direct and indirect photolysis are important abiotic processes in aquatic environments
through which plastics can be transformed physically and chemically. Transport of …

The quantity of plastic materials produced worldwide is progressively increasing. For
instance, annual global plastic production has increased from 1.5 to 390.7 million metric …

Microplastics (MPs) have been found to be widely distributed in aquatic environments,
where they will interact with toxic heavy metals and result in more serious adverse effects on …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, difficult to degrade, and potentially threatening to
organisms in marine environment, so it is important to clarify the factors that affect their …

In this study, the influence of the plastisphere on metals accumulation and weathering
processes of polystyrene (PSMPs) and nylon microplastics (NyMPs) in polluted waters …
