Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

Tire road wear particles (TRWPs) are one of the largest sources of microplastics to the urban
environment with recent concerns as they also provide a pathway for additive chemicals to …

In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled
regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving …

Research on microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial environment is currently at a still
embryonal stage. The current knowledge concerning poorly known diffuse sources of MPs …

Research on microplastics in soils is still uncommon, and the existing publications are often
incomparable due to the use of different sampling, processing, and analytical methods …

Tire microplastics (TMPs) are identified as one of the most abundant types of microplastics,
which originate from rubber with intended or unintended release. While increasing …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Aquatic ecosystems are globally contaminated with microplastics (MP). However,
comparative data on MP levels in freshwater systems is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this …

Abstract Analysis of microplastics (MP) in environmental samples is an emerging field, which
is performed with various methods and instruments based either on spectroscopy or …
