The effects emanated from Microplastic Pollution (MPs) on human health, the environment,
economy, society have been explored in the past with little to no collective knowledge …

Approximately 9 million metric tons of plastics enters the ocean annually, and once in the
marine environment, plastic surfaces can be quickly colonised by marine microorganisms …

Marine litter concentration in the Mediterranean Sea is strongly influenced both by
anthropogenic pressures and hydrodynamic factors that locally characterise the basin …

Microplastics (MPs), over the years, have been regarded as a severe environmental
nuisance with adverse effects on our ecosystem as well as human health globally. In recent …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a serious global environmental problem, particularly in marine

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) microplastics (MPs) have become a major component of
plastic debris both on land and in marine systems globally. However, the accumulation and …

Plastic and microplastic pollutions are known to be widespread across the planet in all types
of environments. However, relatively little about microplastic quantities in the deeper areas …

The adsorption of trace metals on microplastics (MPs) is affected by the presence of surficial
biofilms but their interactions are poorly understood. Here, we present the influence of Cu …

In the last decade, interest in monitoring and managing plastic pollution has greatly
increased. This study compared levels of microplastic contamination in stomachs of …
