This review explores supramolecular gels as materials for environmental remediation.
These soft materials are formed by self-assembling low-molecular-weight building blocks …

Marine biota is a great source of ecosystem services. Recently, the involvement of marine
organisms in biotechnological applications has been discovered and become useful for the …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a focal point for the removal of microplastic (MP)
particles before they are discharged into aquatic environments. WWTPs are capable of …

The widespread consumption of electronic devices has made spent batteries an ongoing
economic and ecological concern with a compound annual growth rate of up to 8% during …

The issue of marine plastic litter pollution is multifaceted, cross-sectoral, and ongoing in the
absence of appropriate management measures. This study analysed the issue of marine …

Mucins are large glycoproteins that are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. Mucins coat the
surfaces of many cell types and can be secreted to form mucus gels that assume important …

The aim of this study was to investigate the ecotoxicity of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)
and polylactic acid (PLA) microplastics (MPs) in two marine zooplankton: the crustacean …

The accumulation of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment has raised concerns about their
impact on human health and the biosphere. The main aim of this study is to understand the …

For the first time, we report a correspondence between microplastics (MP) ingestion and
ecotoxicological effects in gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidarian jellyfish). The ephyra stage of …

The monitoring of plastic pollution through marine biota is a difficult task, which is receiving
increasing attention nowadays. A selection of appropriate bioindicator species for plastic …
