Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

Nowadays, global environmental pollution is one of the most topical issues we have to deal
with on a daily basis. Due to the development of the current society including industrial and …

With the reported ability of microplastics (MPs) to act as “Trojan horses” carrying other
environmental contaminants, the focus of researches has shifted from their ubiquitous …

Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and> 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively
known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro (nano) plastics …

Increasing studies of plastisphere have raised public concern about microplastics (MPs) as
vectors for pathogens, especially in aquatic environments. However, the extent to which …

Microplastics (MPs) serve as vectors for microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs) and contribute to the spread of pathogenic bacteria and ARGs across various …

Microplastics (MPs) in rainwater/stormwater environments pose significant threats to the
aquatic environment. This study presents a comprehensive review of the abundance …

Microplastics can be colonized by microorganisms and form plastisphere. However,
knowledge of bacterial community succession and the enrichment of antibiotic resistance …

Mulching with plastic sheeting, the use of plastic carriers in seed coatings, and irrigation with
wastewater or contaminated surface water have resulted in plastics, and microplastics …

Stormwater represent a critical pathway for transporting microplastics (MPs) to surface
waters. Due to complex dynamics of MPs in stormwater, its dispersion, weathering, risk, and …
