Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in the environment have attracted worldwide attention
due to their wide distribution and difficulty in handling. Aging processes such as UV …

The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine
environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic …

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 …

Plastic products, used in almost all aspects of daily life because of their low cost, durability,
and portability, can be broken down into micro-and nano-scale plastics, thereby increasing …

After being discarded into the environment, the microplastics (MPs) will undergo weathering
effects. However, the low degradation rate of MPs in natural processes greatly limits the …

The occurrence of microplastics in the marine ecosystem and aquatic organisms, their
trophic transfer along the food web, and the identification of seafood species as suitable …

Microplastic ingestion by marine organisms presents an emerging threat to marine
ecosystems; microplastics in different marine species are currently reported worldwide. This …

Plastic pollution is a fast-rising environmental catastrophe. Microplastics and nanoplastics
(MNPs) are ubiquitous components of most aquatic environments, and their burgeoning …

The pervasiveness of microplastics (MPs), which can absorb pharmaceuticals and personal
care products (PPCPs), has a certain impact on pollutant migration in natural waters. The …

A total of 417 striped red mullet, Mullus surmuletus, were analyzed to study microplastic
ingestion and livers of fish were assessed to study effects of microplastics. Nearly one third …
