The occurrence of microplastics in the aquatic environment has become a growing concern
globally. Microplastics pose a hazard to the ecological system, and their presence …

Plastic pollution has been the focus of attention in recent years, with research on micro-&
nano-plastics increasing exponentially. Nevertheless, several challenges associated with …

Microplastic contamination in marine organisms is a growing environmental issue with
implications for seafood safety. Among marine organisms, shellfish are considered to be an …

This study reports plastic debris pollution in the deep-sea based on the information from a
recently developed database. The Global Oceanographic Data Center (GODAC) of the …

This study investigates the mean concentration and characteristics of macroplastics (> 2.5
cm), mesoplastics (5 mm-2.5 cm) and microplastics (< 5 mm) on eight sandy beaches along …

Marine debris, defined as any persistent manufactured or processed solid material
discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment, has been …

To support microplastic management, the abundance, composition, and spatial distribution
of microplastics on a national scale must be known. Hence, we studied the baseline level of …

Microplastics have significant implications for global ecosystems. The microplastic
distribution, types, sources, and quantified microplastic-heavy metal synergistic pollution in …

Marine debris is distributed worldwide and constitutes an increasing threat to our
environment. The exponential increase in the level of plastic debris raises numerous …

Microplastic pollution mainly emanates from terrestrial sources but studies of plastic
contamination in freshwater ecosystems remain limited. Consumption of freshwater fish is …
