Microplastics (MPs) in everyday consumer products have paved the way for high MPs
concentrations in wastewater. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) s are the significant …

The undeniable presence of microplastics (MPs) in soil, air and, especially, in the aquatic
environment has revealed them to be an emerging pollutant. One of the main sources …

Microplastic had been commonly used in personal care products (PCPs) until it was
documented to be a pollutant. The relative contents of microplastics in PCPs decrease in the …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been appointed as one of the main sources of
microplastics (MP) into marine ecosystems. The aim of this research work has been to study …

The extensive application of plastic in human life brings about microplastic (MP) pollution in
the environment. Identifying the potential sources of MPs is necessary to diminish its …

We combine observations from Western USA and inverse modelling to constrain global
atmospheric emissions of microplastics (MPs) and microfibers (MFs). The latter are used …

Water pollution by microplastics (MPs) has emerged as a significant environmental and
public health concern. Several conventional technologies in drinking water and wastewater …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs)(plastic particles< 5 mm) are globally acknowledged as a
serious emerging micropollutant, which passes through various pathways in natural habitats …

Wastewater discharge is considered to be a significant point source of microplastic (MPs)
release into the marine environment. This study is the first attempt to quantify MPs released …

Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic habitats globally, and wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) are point sources of microplastics. Within aquatic habitats …
