Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and their associated microcontaminants have
been linked to increased harmful effects on the human health. In this study, the possible …

Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …

The ubiquitous pollution of the environment with microplastics, a diverse suite of
contaminants, is of growing concern for science and currently receives considerable public …

Laboratory-based studies have suggested that marine organisms can be harmed by
ingesting microplastics. However, unless the current and future microplastic abundance in …

Rivers are vital for understanding freshwater microplastics pollution, along with the conduits
from land-sources to marine-sinks. In this study, we investigated microplastics in the small …

Microplastics are plastic particles which are widely distributed in the environment. The
pollution of microplastics in environment have attracted increasing attention in recent years …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a critical environmental concern that exists within different
mountain ecosystem compartments. This review paper highlights the source, sampling …

Mariculture activities including enclosure, raft and cage cultures employ a variety of plastic
gear such as fishing nets, buoyant material and net cages. The plastic gear poses a …
