The effects of microplastic (MP) pollution on organisms are gaining increasing attention. To
date, a variety of polymers of different shapes and sizes are used in ecotoxicology. Although …

It has been demonstrated that some conventional microplastics (CMPs) have toxicities to
organisms, however, whether biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) have similar potential …

The environmental issues caused by biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) from polylactic
acid (PLA) as well as pesticides are of increasing concern nowadays. In this study, the …

Massive prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has become one of the
world's most serious environmental concerns. Human dependence on plastics has created a …

In this study, the adsorption behavior of lead (Pb (II)) onto environmentally-relevant tire wear
particles (TWP) gained by natural weathering and mechanical abrasion, ultraviolet-aged …

Many studies have now reported adverse effects of exposure to microplastics in aquatic
organisms. Still, relatively few studies have compared the effects of MPs with those of natural …
