Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent
discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation …

Humans are exposed to microplastics (MPs) daily via ingestion and inhalation. It is not
known whether this results in adverse health effects and, if so, at what levels of exposure …

This paper serves to enhance the current knowledge base of airborne microplastics which is
significantly smaller than that of microplastics in marine, freshwater and terrestrial …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging and recalcitrant micropollutants in the environment, which
have attracted soaring interests from a wide range of research disciplines. To this end …

Microplastics, as a group of emerging contaminants, are widely present in environmental
media and have the potential to endanger the ecological environment and human health …

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people used personal protective equipment (PPE) to
lessen the spread of the virus. The release of microplastics (MPs) from discarded PPE is a …

Contamination of the environment with nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs) and its
putative adverse effects on organisms, ecosystems, and human health is gaining increasing …

Plastics production has been increasing over years, while their recycling rate is lower,
resulting in huge amounts of microplastics (MP) accumulating in the environment. Although …

High levels of persistent contaminants such as microplastics (MPs) and trace organic
compounds (TrOCs) in the aquatic environment have become a major threat on the …

Abstract During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, protective
equipment, such as masks, gloves and shields, has become mandatory to prevent person-to …
