The widespread presence of micro/nanoplastics in aquatic ecosystems has certainly
affected ecosystem functions and food chains/webs. The impact is worsened by the …

Marine and freshwater bodies are the primary destinations of microplastics (MPs), where
MPs interact closely with algae. Here, we synthesized existing literature on the effect of MPs …

Microplastics are widely used due to their numerous advantages. However, they can have
detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. When microplastics enter the ocean, they can be …

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is an emerging biodegradable plastic material. Together with
polylactic acid (PLA), PGA is considered a suitable alternative to conventional plastics and …

Post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are promising raw materials to
produce value-added materials. This work uses a simple thermal treatment (TT) in an air …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a commonly used thermoplastic in industry due to its
excellent malleability and thermal stability, making it extensively employed in packaging …

The debate surrounding" source" and" sink" of microplastics (MPs) in coastal water has
persisted for decades. While the transportation of MPs is influenced by surface runoff and …

In this work, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used as a model compound for
understanding the conversion mechanism of plastic wastes through supercritical water …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, which can act as carriers to
affect the bioavailability of heavy metals. The aging process in the environment changes the …

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in freshwater systems has raised concerns
about their potential ecotoxicity to aquatic organisms. In this study, we evaluated the effects …
