Unsustainable plastic production, use and mismanagement has resulted in increased global
plastic pollution and subsequent degradation into micro (nano) plastics in the environment …

Microplastics are pervasive pollutants and have been found in all environmental
compartments globally, including aquatic ecosystems. Ingestion and trophic transfer of …

Contamination of the environment with nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs) and its
putative adverse effects on organisms, ecosystems, and human health is gaining increasing …

To assess the potential risk of microplastic exposure to humans and aquatic ecosystems,
reliable toxicity data is needed. This includes a more complete foundational understanding …

Humans are exposed to micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) through various routes, but the
adverse health effects of MNPs on different organ systems are not yet fully understood. This …

Twenty years after the first publication using the term microplastics, we review current
understanding, refine definitions and consider future prospects. Microplastics arise from …

The effects and risks of microplastics correlate with three-dimensional (3D) properties, such
as the volume and surface area of the biologically accessible fraction of the diverse particle …

We investigated microplastic (MP) contamination in 16 commonly-consumed protein
products (seafoods, terrestrial meats, and plant-based proteins) purchased in the United …

The global accumulation of plastic waste has reached crisis levels. The diverse and
multilayered impacts of plastic on biological health prompts an evaluation of these effects …

Microplastics require a risk assessment framework that takes their multidimensionality into
account while exclusively considering robust data. Therefore, effect tests should use a …
