Coastal habitats have been suggested to serve as a sink for unaccounted plastic debris,
ie,“missing plastic” in the sea, and hence, a hotspot of plastic pollution in the marine and …

The global plastic waste crisis has triggered the development of novel methods for removal
of recalcitrant polymers from the environment. Biotechnological approaches have received …

This research aims to explore the degradation properties of polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) by PET hydrolase (WCCG) in high-temperature composting and its impact on …

Upon entering the marine environment, plastics are colonized by a plethora of
microorganisms to form a plastisphere, influencing the fate and transport of the plastic debris …

Marine plastics, with their negative effects on marine life and the human health, have been
recently recognized as a new niche for the colonization and development of marine biofilms …

The ingestion of clams (Meretrix) with microplastics (MP) contamination could pose potential
risk to human health. The characteristics and potential risks of MP identified in wild-clam and …

Biodegradable polymers offer a potential solution to marine pollution caused by plastic
waste. The marine biofilms that formed on the surfaces of poly (lactide acid)(PLA) and poly …

Due to the amply exposure of marine turtles to marine plastic pollution, this is a reason that
the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas makes a good candidate species as a bioindicator for …

Microplastics'(MPs) ability to sorb and transport polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil
ecosystems warrants significant attention. Although organisms mainly encounter pollutants …
