Microplastic pollution has emerged as a new environmental concern due to our reliance on
plastic. Recent years have seen an upward trend in scholarly interest in the topic of …

Microplastics as vectors for contaminants in the environment is becoming a topic of public
interest. Microplastics have been found to actively adsorb heavy metals, per-fluorinated alkyl …

The role of aquatic organisms in the biological fragmentation of microplastics and their
contribution to global nanoplastic pollution are poorly understood. Here we present a …

Microplastic is an emerging contaminant of concern in soil globally due to its widespread
and potential risks on the ecological system. Some basic issues such as the occurrence …

As two major types of pollutants of emerging concerns, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics
(ATs) coexist in aquatic environments, and their interactions are a source of increasing …

Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread
distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in …

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 and changes to soil hydraulic characteristics affect the physical
properties and functions of soil; however, knowledge remains limited on how microplastics …

There have been numerous studies that have identified the presence of low-density
microplastics (MPs) in the water column and sediments. The focus of current MPs research …

Microplastics have been a global environmental concern owing to their widespread
pollution, which may pose risks to food security and human health once entering into …
