The ubiquitous presence of microplastics as contaminants in the ecosystem has become a
matter of environmental concern gaining considerable attention in the research community …

Microplastics are one of the most concerning groups of contaminants that pollute most of the
surroundings of the Earth. The abundance of plastic materials available in the environment …

While microplastic analysis in aquatic systems is rather well standardized, the determination
of microplastics in terrestrial samples has been less explored. Here, we review methods for …

Microplastics have been recently detected in many environmental media and living
organisms, yet their transfer and toxicity to humans are poorly known. Here, we review …

Mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) is a popular solution for the processing of mixed
municipal solid waste (MSW). However, it is assumed that the treatment processes can lead …

Biosolids are considered a potentially major input of microplastics (MPs) to agricultural soils.
Our study aims to identify the polymeric origin of MPs extracted from biosolid samples by …

Plastics are in high demand for various uses worldwide because of their low cost, versatility,
lightweight, low density, flexibility, high strength, and durability. An increase in single-use …

Pollution from plastic debris and microplastics (MPs) is a worldwide issue. Classified as
emerging contaminants, MPs have become widespread and have been found not only in …

The occurrence of chemical compounds specific to individual plastic polymers allowed the
determination of components in compost feedstock (urban greenery and bio bins of …

Microplastics (MPs) are a class of non-degradable pollutants of global concern. MPs
ubiquitously exist in the natural environment and can inevitably transfer to the human body …
