With microplastics (MPs) being detected in aquatic environments, numerous studies
revealed that they caused severe environmental issues, including damage to ecosystems …

Microplastics, as emerging pollutants, have received great attention in the past few decades
due to its adverse effects on the environment. Microplastics are ubiquitous in the …

In this first mass-related survey of microplastics (MPs,< 1 mm) in the German Bight (North
Sea, 2.5 m water depth), spatial load, temporal variations, and potential sources were …

In this work we studied the ability of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics
(MPs) to transfer benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) to mussel hemocytes and to produce toxic effects in …

Generation of microplastics (MPs), as a result of the increasing amount of plastic waste from
human activities, is an emerging global concern that potentially threatens human health due …

The abundance and distribution of microplastics in estuaries have been barely documented,
and generally without accounting for the vertical structure in the water column. This study …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most polluted marine basins and currently
serves as a hotspot for marine litter. The seafloor represents the ultimate sink for most litter …

The chemical components of plastic wastes have made their disposal a major economic,
social, and environmental problem worldwide. This study evaluated the acute toxicity and …

The majority of the plastic produced in the last century is accumulated in the environment,
leading to an exacerbated contamination of marine environments due to transport from land …

Bivalves are the focus of experimental research as they can filtrate a broad size range of
microplastics (MPs) with negative consequences for their physiology. Studies use a range of …
