Microplastic (MP) pollution is a raising global concern in recent years due to its wide
distribution. Additionally, most of the MPs have undergone extensive weathering in the …

After being discarded into the environment, the microplastics (MPs) will undergo weathering
effects. However, the low degradation rate of MPs in natural processes greatly limits the …

The presence of microplastics and arsenic in soil can endanger crop growth; therefore, their
effects on the properties of rhizosphere soil should be evaluated. Large (10–100 µm) and …

In the aquatic environment, microplastic (MP;< 5 mm) is a cause of concern because of its
persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Studies of microlitter impacts are mostly …

The rapid development of plastic industry has resulted in a series of environmental problems
caused by microplastics originating from larger plastics. Microplastic pollution risk in surface …

Introducing the growing problem of microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment, this
timely full-color illustrated multidisciplinary book is dedicated exclusively to the subject of …

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed and extensively found within marine ecosystems,
and approximately 8 million tons of plastics are being dumped into the sea annually. Once …

With an increasing quantity of plastic waste being discharged into the oceans, marine
microplastic (MP) pollution has received widespread attention. However, the global …

Abstract Currently, 60–80% of litter is plastic, and almost 10% ends up in the ocean directly
or indirectly. Plastics often suffer from photooxidation producing microplastics and these …

Microplastics pollution is widespread in marine ecosystems and a major threat to
biodiversity. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the impacts of microplastics in freshwater …
