Microplastics (MPs) are a type of emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat to
global terrestrial ecosystems, including agroecosystems. In recent years, MPs in soil and …

Environmental pollution of microplastics (MPs) is known to be anthropogenically mediated
menace to biosphere and becoming a debatable concern globally. Large quantities of …

Contamination of waters and soils with microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental
issue worldwide. MPs constitute a cocktail of various additives and polymers besides …

Human exposure to microplastic is recognized as a global problem, but the uncertainty,
variability, and lifetime accumulation are unresolved. We provide a probabilistic lifetime …

Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

The distribution and abundance of microplastics into the world are so extensive that many
scientists use them as key indicators of the recent and contemporary period defining a new …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants of growing concern. These
have been found in multiple environmental compartments, including remote sites where …

Historically, many additives and catalysts used in plastics were based on compounds of
toxic metals (and metalloids), like arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), and lead. Despite …

In recent years, plastic waste has become a universally significant environmental problem.
Ingestion of food and water contaminated with microplastics is the main route of human …

Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …
