Because of their propensity to ingest debris, sea turtles are excellent bioindicators of the
global marine debris problem. This review covers five decades of research on debris …

Significant research effort has been directed toward the development of sustainable plastics
that are high-performance, bioderived, and/or degrade into nontoxic byproducts in natural or …

Water contaminated with plastic debris and leached plasticizers can be ingested or taken up
by aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates alike, exerting adverse effects on multiple tissues …

Although microplastics provide much convenience to humans, they also pose a threat to the
ecological environment on which humans depend. Microplastics persist in the environment …

The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) has been suggested as a bio-indicator species for
plastic pollution. However, detailed investigations in the eastern Mediterranean are limited …

Microplastics have become major pollutants in the marine environment and can accumulate
in high concentrations, especially in the gut of marine organisms. Unlike other seafood …

Microplastics (MPs), polymer particles capable of accumulating heavy metals from ambient
medias, have been widely found in agriculture and pasture soils. Through the consumption …

Plastic has infiltrated every ecosystem on the planet, making encounters between this
anthropogenic pollutant and fauna inevitable. Abiotic environmental breakdown involving …

The present study investigated the contamination of oysters farmed in Amazonian estuaries
by microplastics (MPs). A total of 120 adult oysters (Crassostrea gasar) were collected from …
