Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in the environment have attracted worldwide attention
due to their wide distribution and difficulty in handling. Aging processes such as UV …

The uptake pathways of nanoplastics by edible plants have recently been qualitatively
investigated. There is an urgent need to accurately quantify nanoplastics accumulation in …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastic (NPs) pollution is a global concern due to the
massive use of plastic products. Although there have been many studies on the treatments …

Microplastics are small plastic pieces with sizes less than 5 mm. Due to their widespread
distribution in different environmental compartments, food, and drinking water, microplastics …

The role of aquatic organisms in the biological fragmentation of microplastics and their
contribution to global nanoplastic pollution are poorly understood. Here we present a …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered to be the main sources of microplastic
contaminants in the aquatic environment, and an in-depth understanding of the behavior of …

Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …
