Soil is the source and sink of microplastics (MPs), which is more polluted than water and air.
In this paper, the pollution levels of MPs in the agriculture, roadside, urban and landfill soils …

The global plastic production has steadily increased from 1.7 million tons in 1950 to over
400 million tons in 2022, with about 60% of plastic ultimately ending up in landfills and …

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) affect the immune defense function on carp (Cyprinus
carpio). The PS-MPs model of carp was established by feeding with PS-MPs particle size of …

This paper outlines the nature of microplastic contamination in rivers and the risks to
freshwater fishes. We discuss how input sources influence the concentration and …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are a threat to marine biodiversity however their effects on
animal cognition and behaviour are unclear. We investigated whether microplastic exposure …

Procypris merus, a local fish species found in Guangxi, China is often exposed to both
microplastics (MPs) and Cd. However, it remains unclear how these two pollutants affect P …

The escalating prevalence of microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic environments is a
major challenge affecting the behavior and reproductive health of aquatic organisms while …

Although evidence suggests the ubiquity of meso-and microplastics (MMPs) in mangrove
forests, our knowledge of their bioavailability and risk on mangrove leaves is scarce. Here …

Continuous incorporation of microplastics (MPs) and their fragmented residues into the
ecosystem has sparked significant scientific apprehensions about persistence, a multitude of …

Here, we subjected the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus to environmentally-relevant
concentrations of microplastics (MPs) and mercury (Hg) for three generations (F0–F2) to …
