The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

Tire wear particles (TWP) are assumed to be one of the major sources of microplastic
pollution to the environment. However, many of the previously published studies are based …

Research on microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial environment is currently at a still
embryonal stage. The current knowledge concerning poorly known diffuse sources of MPs …

Tire microplastics (TMPs) are identified as one of the most abundant types of microplastics,
which originate from rubber with intended or unintended release. While increasing …

Microplastics are emerging as prominent pollutants across the globe. Oceans are becoming
major sinks for these pollutants, and their presence is widespread in coastal regions …

The environmental fate of tire and road wear particles (TRWPs) receives increasing attention
due to the per capita emission volumes of 0.2–5.5 kg/(cap year) and recent reports on the …

In this study, seven roads and parking lots were sampled by a road surface cleaning truck
and approximately 100 kg of particulate material was collected per site. Thereafter, the …

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