Despite the importance of estuaries as transition zones between freshwater and marine
compartments, their role in the transport of microplastics is still unclear. This review analyzes …

Pollution by microplastics is of increasing concern due to their ubiquitous presence in most
biological and environmental media, their potential toxicity and their ability to carry other …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has received increased attention over the last few years.
However, while the number of studies documentating the ingestion of microplastics by fish …

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 …

Microplastics (MPs) are considered pollutants that are ubiquitously distributed in aquatic
environments. One of the key hotspot areas to understand fluxes of MPs entering into the …

Freshwater river systems are commonly defined as the main transport paths of microplastics
(MP) from land into the seas. A shift in research interest from oceans to rivers can be …

The substantial increase in the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in the aquatic ecosystem
has been recognized as an emerging concern today. Studies have revealed the toxicity of …

The problem of microplastic pollution is now the order of the day in front of everyone's eyes
affecting the environment and the health of leaving creature. This work aims to retrace the …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as a serious environmental concern, with wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) acting as the main entry routes for MPs into aquatic and terrestrial …

Abstract Wild fish (Cyprinus carpio, Mugil cephalus, Platichthys flesus) from an estuary of the
NE Atlantic coast were investigated for plastic contamination (N= 128). From the 1289 …
