The ubiquitous problems of microplastics in waters are receiving global attention as
microplastics can harm aquatic organisms, and finally can accumulate in the human body …

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

In recent decades, the quantity of plastic waste products has increased tremendously. As
plastic wastes are released into the environment, they exert harmful effects on biota and …

Microplastics have become predominant contaminants, attracting much political and
scientific attention. Despite the massively-increasing research on microplastics effects on …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

Although we are witnesses of an increase in the number of studies examining the
exposure/effects of microplastics (MPs) on different organisms, there are many unknowns …

In this study, the hypothesis that polyethylene microplastics (MPs) can accumulate in
animals, reach the upper trophic level and trigger behavioral changes was tested …

Hazardous anthropogenic particles, such as microplastics (MPs) in the lake ecosystems, are
a serious concern. In this work, we have investigated the seasonal occurrence and …

In contrast to marine ecosystems, the toxicity impact of microplastics in freshwater
environments is poorly understood. This contribution reviews the literature on the range of …

Plastics are dominant pollutants in freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Scientific studies that
investigated the interaction between plastics and freshwater biodiversity are incipient …
