In this study, silica in the form of raw local natural sand was added to high-density-
polyethylene (HDPE) in order to develop a composite material in the form of sheets that …

Plastic litter is a growing environmental problem. Recently, microplastics and nanoplastics,
produced during breakdown processes in nature, have been in focus. Although there is a …

Microplastic (MP) contamination in the aquatic ecosystems is a growing global
environmental issue that can cause detrimental effects on aquatic species. In this study, MPs …

Over the past decade, concerns over microplastic pollution in the marine ecosystem has
