Accumulation of plastic litter exerts pressure on the environment. Microplastics (MPs)
pollution has become a universal challenge due to the overexploitation of plastic products …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

Microplastic pollution is becoming a major challenge with the growing use of plastic. In
recent years, research about microplastic pollution in the environment has become a field of …

Microplastics (MPs) have been widely detected in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
due to their small particle size, wide distribution, and difficulty in removal. Previous studies …

There is an increasing concern about the impact of microplastic pollution in the terrestrial
environment. Identifying sources, pathways and sinks of terrestrial microplastics is crucial to …

Microplastics (MPs) have received widespread attention as an emerging environmental
pollutant. They are ubiquitous in the freshwater system, causing a global environmental …

Over the last years there has been significant research on the presence and effects of
plastics in terrestrial systems. Here we summarize current research findings on the effects of …

As the abundance of microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) increases in the
environment, their presence in agricultural soil has become of interest. MPs/NPs can affect …

Microplastics were investigated in an agricultural soil to which three types of sludge were
repeatedly applied: fresh municipal sludge (FSS1), fresh mixed sludge (mainly industrial …

Microplastics (MP) are ubiquitous contaminants and their presence in sewage sludge has
recently received attention as they may enter agro-ecosystems if sludge is used as organic …
