Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

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 …

At present plastic residues has become grave threat to the environment. Microplastics are
plastic residues with a size< 5 mm, due to their small size it is very difficult to remove them …

Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in
about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled …

The global prevalence of microplastics (MPs) poses a potential threat and unpredictable risk
to the function and health of environmental systems. However, the research progress of soil …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

Microfibers are ubiquitous contaminants of emerging concern. Traditionally ascribed to the
“microplastics” family, their widespread occurrence in the natural environment is commonly …

The wide and intensive application of plastics and their derived products has resulted in
global environmental contamination of plastic waste. Large-sized plastic litter can be …

Research on microplastics in soils is still uncommon, and the existing publications are often
incomparable due to the use of different sampling, processing, and analytical methods …

While it seems indisputable that potable water contains microplastics (MP), the actual
concentrations are much debated and reported numbers vary many orders of magnitude. It …
