Microplastic pollution is a recently discovered threat to ecosystems requiring the
development of new analytical methods. Here, we review classical and advanced methods …

This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the risk assessment of
plastic-associated residual additives, ie residual monomers, degradation products and …

The lack of standard approaches in microplastic research limits progress in the abatement of
plastic pollution. Here, we propose and test rescaling methods that are able to improve the …

The increasing distribution of miniaturized plastic particles, viz. microplastics (100 nm–5
mm) and nanoplastics (less than 100 nm), across the various ecosystems is currently a …

Microplastics have recently been stated as being remarkable contaminants of all
environmental matrices. The lack of consistent and standardised methods and protocols …

Microplastics of millimeter dimensions have been widely investigated in environmental
compartments and today, studies are mainly focused on particles of smaller dimensions (< …

Pollution by microplastics is of increasing concern due to their ubiquitous presence in most
biological and environmental media, their potential toxicity and their ability to carry other …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging global challenge and actually has become a
reality in aquatic ecosystems in Albania. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report …

Microplastics are a diverse category of pollutants, comprising a range of constituent
polymers modified by varying quantities of additives and sorbed pollutants, and exhibiting a …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and more abundant in the marine
environment. Consequently, increasing focus has been put on MPs in oceans and seas …
