Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Study of hazardous microplastics in the natural water resources is minimal compared to the
sea salt, seafood and even packaged water. We presented results of the first baseline …

Abundance, chemical composition and ecological risk of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial
and marine environments have merited substantial attention from the research communities …

Urban runoff seems an obvious pathway for the transfer of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate
acid esters (PAEs) from land-based sources to the marine environment; an issue that still …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in the environment has drawn the attention of
ecotoxicologists on its safety and toxicity. Sources of microplastics in the environment …

Microplastic contamination of the oceans is one of the world's most pressing environmental
concerns. The terrestrial component of the global microplastic budget is not well understood …

Microplastics are the major environmental health hazards spotted in almost all the marine
habitats and biota of world. The earlier research on microplastics have mainly focused on …

Microplastic pollution of the marine environment has received increasing attention from
scientists, the public, and policy makers over the last few years. Marine microplastics …

The majority of micro (nano) plastic research has been concentrated on the marine
environment. Whilst the ocean represents an ultimate sink for contamination, this focus …
