Microplastics are emerging contaminants and there has been growing concern regarding
their impacts on aquatic and terrestrial environments. This review provides a comprehensive …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Exposure to microplastics (MP) in aquatic environment leads to bioaccumulation in fish, with
MP size being a major factor in determining the accumulation profile. MPs absorbed into the …

Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs)(size< 5 mm/< 100 nm) epitomize one of the emergent
environmental pollutants with its existence all around the globe. Their high persistence …

There is definitive evidence that microplastics, defined as plastic particles less than 5 mm in
size, are ubiquitous in the environment and can cause harm to aquatic organisms. These …

Microplastic pollution is a major threat to the marine environment attracting attention from
scientific and public communities. Although we have sufficient evidence that microplastic is …

Caffeine (Caff) is one of the most widely used substances in the human diet and a well-
recognized drug. Its input into surface waters is remarkable, but biological effects on aquatic …

Coastal lagoons are transitional environments between continental and marine aquatic
systems. Globally, coastal lagoons are of great ecological and socioeconomic importance as …

We compare the toxicity of microplastics, microfibres and nanoplastics on mussels. Mussels
(Mytilus spp.) were exposed to 500 ng mL-1 of 20 μm polystyrene microplastics, 10× 30 μm …

Over the last decade, microplastics (MPs, plastic particles< 5 mm) as emerging
contaminants have received a great deal of international attention, not only because of their …
