Plastic mulch films (PMFs) are widely used to improve crop quality and quantity. Although
they provide a range of benefits, they degrade into widespread microplastics (MPs), which …

Microplastic contamination has become widespread in natural ecosystems around the globe
as a result of the tremendous rise in plastic production over the last 70 years. However …

Abstract Nowadays, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) are developing as innovative
multifunctional tools to maximize urban ecosystem services such as storm water …

In the past few decades, pollution from microplastics has emerged as an important issue on
a global scale. These plastic particles are mainly the result of anthropogenic activities …

Plastic materials that are less than 5 mm in size are defined as Microplastics (MPs). MPs that
are intentionally produced are called primary MPs; however, the most abundant type in the …

The degree of pollution and potential ecological risk of heavy metals (HMs) in the soil of
plastic-covered sheds in Jiangxi Province were evaluated by the Nemerow index and …

Microplastic contamination is a growing threat to marine and freshwater ecosystems,
agricultural production, groundwater, plant growth and even human and animal health …

Over the last decade, many studies on microplastics (MPs) have only focused on the marine
environment, and scientist have recently begun to document soil and groundwater MP …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and constitute a global hazard to the environment
because of their robustness, resilience, and long-term presence in the ecosystem. For now …

Growing demand for plastic and increasing plastic waste pollution have led to significant
environmental challenges and concerns in today's world. Bioplastics offer exciting new …
