Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

Studies on microplastic (MP) pollution in lakes are recent, although the problem of MP
particles in the oceans was first discovered in the 1970s. The first study on lakes was …

Microplastics, as defined here as plastics with a diameter of< 5 mm, can impose severely
detrimental impacts on the environment and can now be commonly found in different water …

This review summarises the current knowledge on the effects of microplastics and their
additives on organisms living in the aquatic environment, particularly invertebrates and fish …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

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 …

Despite Africa ranking top in mismanaged plastic waste, there is insufficient data on the
extent of microplastics and its interaction with other contaminants in its ecosystems …

Hazardous anthropogenic particles, such as microplastics (MPs) in the lake ecosystems, are
a serious concern. In this work, we have investigated the seasonal occurrence and …

The source, distribution, migration, and fate of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems have received much attention. However, the relevant reports in wetland …

Microplastics (MPs) are contaminants that damage lake ecosystems by enriching pollutants.
This study investigated the current state of MPs in lakes using the bibliometric method and …
