Plastic pollution is currently one of the environmental pollution issues of global concern, and
microplastics (plastics with a size≤ 5 mm) have also attracted much attention due to their …

Abstract The Yangtze River (YR) is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the
world, and is recognized as one of the most microplastic-polluted rivers globally. However …

Freshwater rivers play the key role in providing drinking water sources and building the
bridge of oceans and lands. Hence, environmental pollutants can be transferred into …

Microplastic pollution is widespread in terrestrial and aquatic environments; however, a
systematic assessment of the ecological risks of microplastics is lacking. This study collected …

This study aims to investigate the distribution and ecological risk assessment of
microplastics (MPs) in peatland areas located in Long An province, Vietnam's Mekong Delta …

Microplastics (MPs) are known to act as carriers of heavy metals; however, little is known
about the intrinsic chemical additives of MPs, such as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), in …

Nowadays, utility of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique in tackling real-
world complex problems has risen tremendously. Even the United Nations is focusing on …

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in marine environments. The pollution
characteristics and risk assessment of MPs in estuarine sediments are still insufficient. In this …

There is increasing global concern regarding microplastics. Rivers play a key role in the
transportation and storage of microplastics on the Earth's surface. Here, we aimed to …

Microplastics pollution is an emerging environmental concern. However, there are almost no
MPs numerical simulation studies in the Yangtze Estuary which is considered as the largest …
