Plastic production on a global scale is instrumental in advancing modern society. However,
plastic can be broken down by mechanical and chemical forces of humans and nature, and …

Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

Microplastics are small plastic pieces ranging in size from 1μ to< 5 mm in diameter, are
water-soluble, and can be either primary as they are initially created in small sizes or …

Microplastics have recently been detected in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even
remote areas far away from source regions of microplastics, suggesting the potential long …

There is a rising concern regarding the accumulation of microplastics in the aquatic
ecosystems. However, compared to the marine environment, the occurrence, transport, and …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are emerging global pollutants that garnered
enormous attention due to their potential threat to the ecosystem in virtue of their persistence …

Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

The reliance on plastic for a vast number of consumer products, many of them single-use,
results in their continuous entry into aquatic environments. Plastic waste can fragment into …

In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled
regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving …

It is increasingly recognized that the ubiquity of convenient single-use plastic has resulted in
a global plastic pollution challenge, with substantial environmental and health …
