The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and
humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth …

Human exposure to microplastic is recognized as a global problem, but the uncertainty,
variability, and lifetime accumulation are unresolved. We provide a probabilistic lifetime …

Microplastics are an emerging global environmental contaminant that are affecting multiple
spheres. Despite their ubiquity in all spheres of life and ecology, little is known about the …

Conventional nonbiodegradable plastic waste (NPW) treatment technologies include landfill
and incineration, which face bottlenecks and cannot solve NPW problems effectively …

Plastic consumption increases with the growing population worldwide and results in
increased quantities of plastic waste. There are various plastic waste management …

Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants leading to inevitable human
exposure. Even so, little is known about the effects of microplastics in human health. Thus, in …

Chitosan (CS) has been extensively studied because of its biocompatibility,
biodegradability, low toxicity, and good film-forming properties. However, pristine CS has …

The increasing use of plastic films for agricultural mulching continues worldwide. Mulching
improves crop yield, decreases pesticide'inputs to the field, saves irrigation water and …

Micro-and nanoplastics are considered one of the top pollutants that threaten the
environment, aquatic life, and mammalian (including human) health. Unfortunately, the …
