In the literature, there is widespread consensus that methods in plastic research need
improvement. Current limitations in quality assurance and harmonization prevent progress …

Plastic pollution is a fast-rising environmental catastrophe. Microplastics and nanoplastics
(MNPs) are ubiquitous components of most aquatic environments, and their burgeoning …

Aquatic ecosystems are globally contaminated with microplastics (MP). However,
comparative data on MP levels in freshwater systems is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this …

Abstract Nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) are a heterogeneous class of
pollutants with diverse sizes in aquatic environments. To evaluate the hazardous effects of …

The outcomes of this research offer novel insights into the toxic effects of nanoparticles (ie,
nanoplastics or other nanomaterials) on the benthos. Herein, this study aimed to evaluate …

The discovery of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) has initiated additional
challenges and research opportunities for the scientific community owing to their unique …

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 …

Microplastic ingestion in invertebrates reduces somatic and reproductive growth. This could
be caused by energy reserves being detracted from growth processes and redistributed to …

Despite many studies on the toxicity of nanoplastic particles (NPPs) to aquatic invertebrates,
the effects of ecological constituents such as humic substances (HSs) are often neglected. In …

The relationship between humans and plastics has become intricate due to their versatile
nature and low production cost. Plastics generation has surpassed that of other …
