Increasing studies of plastisphere have raised public concern about microplastics (MPs) as
vectors for pathogens, especially in aquatic environments. However, the extent to which …

Aquaculture is the most rapidly growing branch of animal production. The efficiency and
quality of the produced food depends on sustainable management, water quality, feed …

Microplastics in urban rivers provide bacterial niches and serve as dispersal vectors for
antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) dissemination, which may exacerbate risks in the aquatic …

Microplastics in the aquatic environment serve as a habitat for microbial life, on which they
can form biofilms. However, how the development of the biofilm alters the properties of …

Aquatic ecosystems have become a place for accumulating microplastics (MPs). MPs can
directly or indirectly damage organisms. Although studies of the toxicity of MPs, there are …

The analysis of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial environments and the evaluation of their
environmental risk has gained great attention, owing to the increasing evidence for their …

Heterogeneous iron-based catalysts have drawn increasing attention in the advanced
oxidation of persulfates due to their abundance in nature, the lack of secondary pollution to …

Microplastics (MPs), over the years, have been regarded as a severe environmental
nuisance with adverse effects on our ecosystem as well as human health globally. In recent …

Due to the rising usage of plastics, plastic debris are present throughout marine ecosystems
and detrimentally affects marine biota. Additionally, plastics likely result in elusive toxicity …

We investigated the temporal changes from spring to summer of the stranded litter and the
composition of plastic encrusting biota along an Italian beach. Our findings highlight a …
