Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Microplastics are abundant and widespread in the marine environment. They are a
contaminant of global environmental and economic concern. Due to their small size a wide …

As microplastics (MPs) have become ubiquitous in both aquatic and terrestrial
environments, there has been a growing concern about these new anthropogenic stressors …

The impact of microplastics (MPs) on aquatic life, given their ubiquitous presence in the
water compartment, represents a growing concern. Consistently, scientific knowledge is …

Microplastics and nanoplastics (M-NPLs) are ubiquitous environmentally, chemically, or
mechanically degraded plastic particles. Humans are exposed to M-NPLs of various sizes …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial environments, and
detrimental biological effects have been observed on a variety of organisms, from bacteria …

In the marine environment, most bivalve species base their reproduction on external
fertilization. Hence, gametes and young stages face many threats, including exposure to …

Increasing concern over microplastics has recently brought increased attention to studies on
microplastic toxicity. Here, we conduct a systematic review on toxicity of microplastics that …

Plastic has been an incredibly useful and indispensable material in all aspects of human life.
Without it many advances in medicine, technology or industry would not have been possible …

To date, previous studies have reported the adverse effects of microplastics (MPs) and
nanoplastics (NPs) on both freshwater and marine organisms. However, the information on …
