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 and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Plastics have enormous impacts to every aspect of daily life including technology, medicine
and treatments, and domestic appliances. Most of the used plastics are thrown away by …

Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment
is an undeniable and serious concern due to their higher persistence and extensive use in …

Plastic pollution in various forms has emerged as the most severe environmental threat.
Small plastic chunks, such as microplastics and nanoplastics derived from primary and …

Tiny plastic particles considered as emerging contaminants have attracted considerable
interest in the last few years. Mechanical abrasion, photochemical oxidation and biological …

Microplastics have recently been detected in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even
remote areas far away from source regions of microplastics, suggesting the potential long …
