There have been growing apprehensions and concerns regarding the increasing presence
of plastic pollutants in the holiest river of India, the Ganga, and its major tributary, Yamuna. In …

Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive contaminants that pose significant ecological and human
health risks, emerging as one of the most widespread anthropogenic pollutants in natural …

Of recent concern is the degradation of plastics from macro-to micro-and even nanosized.
This study investigates the content of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) particles in raw …

Numerous studies have been conducted to limit the impact of micro (nano) plastics (MNPs)
on the environment, specifically in land and sea ecosystems. However, we still have limited …

The presence of microplastics in the world's water bodies is an urgent and pressing issue

Plastic, a groundbreaking invention of the 20th century, has become an indispensable part
of our lives due to its exceptional qualities and affordability. However, the ever-increasing …

Due to smaller particle size (0.1 µm–5 mm), non-biodegradable or slowly degradable
nature, and high accumulation capacity in the environment, microplastics are becoming a …

Urban drainage channels act as significant routers of microplastics (MPs) originating from
terrestrial to aquatic systems. In the present study, contamination of MPs (250–5,000 μm …
