types of canned seafood investigated in the present study were contaminated. After sample …

Some studies have shown that freshwater ecosystems are polluted in a similar proportion to
marine ecosystems; however, there are many gaps to be filled in this topic. Here, we …

Microplastics are global environmental pollutants. Further, there has been growing concern
regarding the contamination of plasticizers. In this study, we first found that Daphnia magna …

Microplastics have been widely detected in wastewater treatment plants, but there is still a
significant dearth of research data on the removal efficiency of microplastics in such plants …

Low-impact fishing gear, such as fish pots, could help reduce human's impact on coastal
marine ecosystems in fisheries but catch rates remain low and the harvest of resources used …

Plastic production on a commercial scale began in the 1950s, reaching an annual
