Carbonated beverages are characterized by low temperatures, multiple microbubbles, high
pressure, and an acidic environment, creating ideal conditions for releasing contaminants …

This study investigated the release of microplastics and nanoplastics from plastic containers
and reusable food pouches under different usage scenarios, using DI water and 3% acetic …

Microplastics have been ubiquitously found and identified in aquatic and terrestrial
environments for several years. Due to their occurrence in the oceans, microplastics were …

The uncontrolled introduction into the environment of plastic polymers have caused the
dispersion of plastic fragments, known as Microplastics (MPs), that represent an important …

Microplastics has become a global concern due to their ubiquitous presence which poses
unavoidable human exposure risks. Geographical distribution and yearly trends of research …

Since microplastics (MPs) bring the potential risks to human health when plastics are
ingested, more needs to be known about the presence and abundance of human ingestion …

Microplastics in food are receiving increasing attention because they are directly ingested by
humans and pose a health threat. However, little attention has been paid to the microplastics …

Microplastics (MPs) have been found in many packaged food products such as salt, tea
bags, milk, and fish. In a previous study by this group, MPs were found to leach into hot …
