Human exposure to microplastics has been a topic of interest, but measurements of
exposure are limited. Pet animals are sentinels of human exposure, as they share a …

Although human exposure to microplastics (MPs) and the health effects thereof are a global
concern, little is known about the magnitude of exposure. In this study, we quantitatively …

Microplastics (MPs) have frequently been found in the environment. However, studies of the
quantification methods for MPs are still needed. Plastics are polymers with different degrees …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants of public health and environmental concern.
Sewage sludge is a sink for MPs that originate from domestic sources and can provide an …

Terrestrial domestic animals are exposed to microplastics, therefore, contaminating the food
chain, in the case of livestock, or acting as sentinels for human exposure, in the case of …

Plastic cutting boards are a potentially significant source of microplastics in human food.
Thus, we investigated the impact of chopping styles and board materials on microplastics …

Global marine pollution by microplastics (MPs) has received considerable attention in recent
years. Nevertheless, little is known about the occurrence of MPs in indoor environments. A …

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

Highlights•Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPLs) are increasingly spread through air, land, and
seas.•Humans are exposed to MNPLs through different pathways: ingestion, inhalation, and …

Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are less than 5 mm in size and can be found in
most environments, including the oceans, rivers, and air. These small plastic particles can …
