Plastic pollution is currently one of the environmental pollution issues of global concern, and
microplastics (plastics with a size≤ 5 mm) have also attracted much attention due to their …

Bay is a unique part of the ecosystem, acting as the intersection for marine and terrestrial
systems and hosting diverse biological organisms. The ubiquitous application of plastics has …

Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive in marine environments and widely recognized as
emerging environmental pollutants due to the multifaceted risks they exert on living …

Microplastics are prevalent in freshwater, coastal, and deep ocean sediments. However, the
effects of microplastics on sedimentary microbial ecosystems have not been well reported …

Microplastics (MPs) have accumulated in the oceans, causing adverse effects on marine
