Microplastics have been identified as an emerging pollutant due to their irrefutable
prevalence in air, soil, and particularly, the aquatic ecosystem. Wastewater treatment plants …

Exposure to micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) is inevitable due to their omnipresence in the
environment. A growing body of studies has advanced our understanding of the potential …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are distributed in the environments universally. The
interrelationship between vascular plants and micro/nanoplastics began to attract attention …

In recent years, plastic pollution has become an environmental problem requiring urgent
attention. Recently, the release of nano-sized plastics (< 1 µm) into the environment has …

There is strong evidence that the seafloor constitutes a final sink for plastics from land
sources. There is also evidence that part of the plastics lying on the shallow seafloor are …

Marine litter is a global problem which poses an increasing threat to ecosystem services,
human health, safety and sustainable livelihoods. In order to better plan plastic pollution …

Microplastic pollution has been widely studied as a global issue due to increased plastic
usage and its effect on human and aquatic life. Microplastics originate from domestic and …

Oil-based drill cuttings (OBDC) and waste polyvinyl chloride (waste PVC) both are solid
wastes. The pyrolysis/co-pyrolysis characterizations of OBDC, waste PVC and OBDC/waste …

Marine canopies formed by seagrass and other coastal vegetated ecosystems could act as
sinks of microplastics for being efficient particle traps. Here we investigated for the first time …

Aquatic plants, seagrasses, macrophytes, mangroves, and riparian vegetation are
responsible for some of the most important ecosystem services provided on the Earth. Given …
