Microplastics are emerging as prominent pollutants across the globe. Oceans are becoming
major sinks for these pollutants, and their presence is widespread in coastal regions …

Urban areas play a key role in the production of microplastics (MPs) and their entry into
water bodies. This article reviews the literature on the sources, transport, and control of MPs …

Plastics have been the most favorable requirement for the current generation, and it has
become an emerging global concern. MPs (Microplastics) have been pervading for 20 years …

Microplastics found in the environment are often covered with a biofilm, which makes their
analysis difficult. Therefore, the biofilm is usually removed before analysis, which may affect …

Microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere can undergo long-range transport from emission
regions to pristine terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. Due to their inherent toxic and …

Diversity in microplastics' characteristics, including their size, affects their transport and
distribution in aquatic systems. Furthermore, turbulent induced mixing is often considered …

The settling behavior of microplastics (MPs) plays a pivotal role in their transport and fate in
aquatic environments, but the dominant mechanisms and physics governing the settling of …

Microplastics (MPs) are of global concern due to their slow degradation in the environment
and the potential of inducing adverse effects on organisms. In aquatic ecosystems, microbes …

Microplastic risk assessment often characterizes primary plastics, plastics intentionally
manufactured at the micro-and nanoscale, or plastics collected within the natural …

The transport behavior of microplastics (MPs) in the fluvial environment is scarcely
researched. Besides settling velocities and critical shear stress for erosion, only a few …
