Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

Microplastic pollution became one of the most researched current environmental topics.
Road markings are often listed amongst important microplastic pollution sources, but there is …

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in the Yangtze River, the third longest river
in the world, has drawn increasing attention. Although numerous studies have been …

Microplastics (MPs) and their derivatives have received worldwide attention owing to their
adverse effects on ecosystems. However, molecular diversity and dynamic formation of …

This study was to investigate temporal and spatial variation of microplastics in surface water
and sediment in the urban rivers of Harbin during dry and wet season. Water samples (n …

In rivers, riverbeds are considered to have dual properties as a short-term sink and a source
of further mobilization for microplastics. To better understand the sources, storage, and fate …

The development of monitoring programs based on bioindicators is crucial for assessing the
impact of microplastic ingestion on marine organisms. This study presents results from an …

Rivers are key pathways for transporting microplastics from land to the oceans, yet
microplastic flux estimates remain uncertain. Remote sensing allows repeated broad-scale …

Plastics, including microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), along with their associated
chemicals, are being found in virtually every environmental compartment and location …

Microplastics (MPs) with the size of 1 μm–5 mm are pollutants of great concern ubiquitously
found in the environment. Existing efforts have found that most of the MPs present in the …
