Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular
thermoplastic materials that have found such applications are polyethylene (PE) …

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) have been increasingly found in environments, food, and
organisms, arousing wide public concerns. MNPs may enter food chains through water …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as hotspots for the spread of
micro (nano) plastics (MPs/NPs) in water. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have …

Increased water shortage due to industrialization and population increase requires
immediate action to address water contamination. Using dimethyl sulfate as a common …

In the last two decades, microplastics (MP) have been identified as an emerging
environmental pollutant. Due to their small size, MP particles may easily enter the food …

In recent years, there has been a surge in annual plastic production, which has contributed
to growing environmental challenges, particularly in the form of microplastics. Effective …

Plastic pollution is a major threat facing our environment. To understand the full effects, we
must first characterize how plastics break down in environmental systems. Heretofore, there …

The release of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment is a significant health concern for long-
term exposed humans. Although their usage has certainly revolutionized several application …

The study aimed to address the environmental challenge posed by polystyrene nanoplastics
(PS-NPs), which are widespread and resistant to conventional degradation methods. In …

The nanoplastics released into the environment pose a critical threat to creatures, and thus it
is necessary to remove them. However, their natural decomposition usually takes years or …
