Microplastics (MPs) form the most investigated plastic category since their size (1 μm-5 mm)
enables them to accumulate in various environmental compartments and to be ingested by …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination is an existing and concerning environmental issue.
Plastic particles have been observed worldwide in every natural matrix, with water …

The remarkable increase in plastic usage and widespread microplastic (MP) pollution has
emerged as a substantial concern today. Many recent studies have revealed MPs as …

Microplastics (MPs) are a ubiquitous pollutant. They take the form of fibers, fragments,
microbeads, pellets, and foams, slowly choking up waterways, the atmosphere, and …

Microplastics are found across the globe because of their size and ability to transport across
environments. The effects of microplastics on the micro-and macro-organisms have brought …

Abstract Microplastics are small (< 5 mm) fragments of plastic debris that are ubiquitous in
oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies on microplastics in sediment and soil matrices …

The widespread distribution of plastics, their persistence and ability to act as a vector of toxic
chemicals has rendered them concerning emergent pollutants. The quantification of these …

Concerns regarding plastic pollution, especially microplastics, have increased, as they can
be present in different environmental compartments, including estuarine areas and …

Microplastic (MP) research faces challenges due to costly, time-consuming, and error-prone
analysis techniques. Additionally, the variability in data quality across studies limits their …

This review is aimed at critical analysis of current and emerging capabilities of analytical
methods as employed for marine sediment analysis. An emphasis is given to the most …
