Microplastic pollution has become a global concern due to its distribution, high abundance,
and negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. These particles enter aquatic systems through …

It is known that microplastics (MPs) are increasingly detected in aquatic environments (sea
and fresh water), and the presence of these pollutants have worrying potential effects on the …

The intensive use and wide-ranging application of plastic-and plastic-derived products have
resulted in alarming levels of plastic pollution in different environmental compartments …

The present study investigated the release of microplastics (MPs) from wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) to the neighboring environment, including marine and coastal sediments …

Over the decades, interaction of microplastics with other pollutants in a dynamic
environmental set up was observed to increase their toxic effects. This scenario is worse in …

The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the biotic and abiotic components of the marine
environment poses a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. The objective of this …

Microplastics (MPs) have gained a serious attention as an emerging contaminant throughout
the world because of their persistence and possible risks to aquatic ecosystems and human …

Surfactant molecules can change the hydrophobic nature of microplastic surfaces, thereby
affecting the adsorption of heavy metals in the environment onto the microplastics. It is …

Plastic particles of microscopic scale are present in the aquatic environment, especially at
lower trophic trophic levels where the number of microplastics (MPs) ingested per gram wet …

Microplastics (MPs) have been increasingly detected as environmental pollutants in the
marine systems. Currently, there is no information about the microplastic pollution in the …
