Plastics contamination in the environment is a major concern. Risk assessment of micro-and
nanoplastics (MPL and NPL) poses significant challenges due to MPL and NPL …

Larvae of some insect species (Coleoptera and Lepidoptera) can consume and biodegrade
synthetic polymers, including polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and …

There is a growing concern regarding the toxic effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on aquatic and
marine organism, while relatively few studies about their toxicity evaluation on mammals are …

Polyethylene (PE) is the most abundant non-degradable plastic waste, posing a constant
and serious threat to the whole ecosystem. In the present study, the fungal community of …

Commercially manufactured or generated through environmental degradation, microplastics
(MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) considerably contribute to environmental pollution. There is a …

The increasing accumulation of small plastic particles, in particular microplastics (> 1 µm to 5
mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 µm), in the environment is a hot topic in our rapidly changing …

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems has been confirmed
worldwide. Due to their widespread distribution and diversity in habitats, insects will readily …

Abstract Introduction Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants
that have raised serious concerns about their potential impact on ecosystem and organism …

Pollution with emerging microscopic contaminants such as microplastics (MPs) and
nanoplastics (NPs) including polystyrene (PS) in aquatic and terrestrial environments is …

Insects play an important role in the ecosystem. In recent years, the global population and
species of insects have shown a dramatic decline. Microplastic pollution has attracted …
