Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic debris (< 5 mm) that result from the fragmentation of
plastic due to physical and physiochemical processes. MPs are emerging pollutants that …

Microplastics (MPs), a new class of emerging pollutants, have attracted exponentially
increased attention due to the adverse ecological impacts on biota, not only by themselves …

Agricultural plastic mulch is a major microplastics (MPs) source in terrestrial ecosystems.
However, knowledge about the aging characteristics of mulch-derived MPs entering natural …

The analysis of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial environments and the evaluation of their
environmental risk has gained great attention, owing to the increasing evidence for their …

This study investigates the scope of global marine microplastic pollution and its implications
on marine ecosystems and human health. We first delve into how plastic enters the ocean …

The extensive utilization and inadequate handling of plastics have resulted in severe
environmental ramifications. In particular, plastics composed solely of a carbon-carbon (C …

This study provides an in-depth examination of the role of poly (lactic acid) microplastics
(PLA-MPs) during sludge treatment, particularly in relation to organic compound leaching …

Climate change and plastic pollution are the big environmental problems that the
environment and humanity have faced in the past and will face in many decades to come …

Microplastics composed of different polymers with various shapes, within a vast
granulometric distribution (1 μm-5 mm) and with a wide variety of physicochemical surface …

Aged microplastics (MPs) in the environment are a growing concern due to their higher
ecological toxicity compared to pristine MPs. While previous studies have explored aging …
