Plastic is one of the most abundant pollutants in the environment. As a result of natural
physical processes, large plastic waste is degraded into microsized particles (< 5 mm) called …

The abundant and widespread presence of particulate plastics in the environment is
considered an area of increasing environmental, animal and human health concern. Despite …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global importance. They are small
enough to be ingested by a wide range of organisms and at nano-scale, they may cross …

Extensive applications of plastic in human life has caused substantial microplastic pollution
in the global environment, which, due to plastic's ubiquitous nature and everlasting …

Nowadays, microplastic has been detected in many environmental samples, including
aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, few studies recently have addressed their …

Microplastics are a globally emerging contaminant in the environment, but little is known
about the potential risks of microplastics to human health. Possible exposure routes of …

The potential risks on human health from the unintentional ingestion of microplastics (MPs)
and nanoplastics (NPs) is an emerging concern. Despite the mounting awareness of small …

As current concerns about food safety issues around the world are still relatively serious,
more and more food safety issues have become the focus of people's attention. What's more …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in various environment compartments, including food.
Here, we collected research reports of MPs in food published during 2010–2020, and …

The ongoing use of plastic polymers to manufacture food packaging has raised concerns
about the presence of nano-and microplastics (NMPs) in a variety of foods. This review …
