Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastic pollution is a recently discovered threat to ecosystems requiring the
development of new analytical methods. Here, we review classical and advanced methods …

Microplastics have recently been detected in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even
remote areas far away from source regions of microplastics, suggesting the potential long …

There is a rising concern regarding the accumulation of microplastics in the aquatic
ecosystems. However, compared to the marine environment, the occurrence, transport, and …

Abstract Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) are gaining high attention worldwide as an emerging
environmental contaminant because they are easier to be taken up by organisms and likely …

This is the first study to show microplastics contamination in an alluvial sedimentary aquifer
that has been capped from the atmosphere. Microplastics are often reported in biotic and …

The occurrence of microplastics in the aquatic environment has become a growing concern
globally. Microplastics pose a hazard to the ecological system, and their presence …

A review of 80 papers on microplastic (MP) particles in marine sediments was conducted for
different sedimentary environments. The papers were assessed for data on average MP …

Microplastics are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all environmental
compartments. However, knowledge on sources, fate and environmental concentration over …

Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the
greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across …
