Contamination with plastic debris has been recognized as one of today's major
environmental quality problems. Because most of the sources are land based, concerns are …

Given the increasing attention on the occurrence of microplastics in the environment, and
the potential environmental threats they pose, there is a need for researchers to move …

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment is a problem of growing concern.
While research has focused on MP occurrence and impacts in the marine environment, very …

Microplastics (MPs) are considered to be ubiquitous contaminants in freshwater ecosystems,
yet their sources and pathways at the river catchment scale need to be better determined …

Environmental context Microplastics found in soil pose several potential environmental risks.
This study shows that microplastics on the soil surface can be ingested by earthworms and …

Soils are recipients of microplastic that can be subsequently transferred to the sea. Land
sources dominate inputs to the ocean, but knowledge gaps about microplastic retention by …

Abstract Knowledge of exposure to a wide range of chemicals, and the spatio-temporal
variability thereof, is urgently needed in the context of protecting and restoring aquatic …

The effects of two benthonic species, Perinereis aibuhitensis and Matuta planipes Fabricius,
on the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from sediments were …

Water quality is continuously changing because of anthropogenic origin of point and diffuses
(non-point) pollution sources. Most of the time diffuse sources are not considered for …

Spatially resolved environmental models are important tools to introduce and highlight the
spatial variability of the real world into modeling. Although various spatial models have been …
