Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Microplastics (MPs), defined as particles with diameters< 5 mm and including nanoplastics
(NPs), with diameters< 1 μm, are characterized by large specific surface areas and …

Microplastic pollution within the marine environment is of pressing concern globally.
Accordingly, spatial monitoring of microplastic concentrations, composition and size …

Plastic pollution is globally recognised as a threat to marine ecosystems, habitats, and
wildlife, and it has now reached remote locations such as the Arctic Ocean. Nevertheless …

The morphological description of microplastic particles is mostly based on subjective
descriptors. However, data intercomparison requires unambiguous classifications. This work …

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 …

Plastic pollution represents one of the most salient indicators of society's impact on the
environment. The microplastic component of this is ubiquitous, however, microplastic studies …

Microplastics (synthetic polymer particles< 5 mm in size) are currently of major research
interest due to their ubiquity and persistence in the environment, as well as their alleged …

Ingestion of microplastics (MPs) has been documented in several marine organisms, but
their occurrence in deep-sea species remains almost unknown. In this study, MPs were …

Toxicity and persistence of microplastics (MP) in the marine environment has a potential to
disturb the ecological balance of the planet. To evaluate the gravity of the situation …
