Microplastics have been observed in most environments, and their concentrations are
expected to increase over the coming decades given the continued and increased …

Recent interest in microplastic pollution of natural environments has brought forth samples
which confirm the pollutant's omnipresence in a variety of ecosystems. This includes …

Although the use of plastics varies across different regions, Africa is ranked second after
Asia as an indiscernible consumer of plastics that break down into microplastic. Moreover …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in aquatic sediment represents an anthropogenic
stressor on benthic organisms and elemental cycling. However, a comprehensive …

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments has become a
