Microplastics have been identified as an emerging pollutant due to their irrefutable
prevalence in air, soil, and particularly, the aquatic ecosystem. Wastewater treatment plants …

Plastic pollution, particularly non-degradable residual plastic films and microplastics (MPs),
is a serious environmental problem that continues to worsen each year. Numerous studies …

Water scarcity has been felt in many countries and will become a critical issue in the coming
years. The release of toxic organic and inorganic contaminants from different anthropogenic …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastic (NPs) pollution is a global concern due to the
massive use of plastic products. Although there have been many studies on the treatments …

The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in
air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest …

Plastics and microplastics are difficult to degrade in the natural environment due to their
hydrophobicity, the presence of stable covalent bonds and functional groups that are not …

As a type of emerging pollutant, microplastics exist widely in soil and continue to migrate
and transform. Recently, the potential threats of microplastics to soil health and ecological …

The availability of organic matters in vast quantities from the agricultural/industrial practices
has long been a significant environmental challenge. These wastes have created global …

Environmentally benign hydrogen production via photochemical and photoelectrochemical
processes by water splitting using carbon-based nanomaterials utilizes sunlight as the …

Fiber-based microplastics (FMPs) are highly persistent and ubiquitously exist in the
wastewater of textile industry and urban sewage. It remains challenging to completely …
