The emergence of microplastics (MPs) pollution as a global environmental concern has
attracted significant attention in the last decade. The majority of the human population …

The rise in the global production of plastics has led to severe concerns about the impacts of
plastics in aquatic environments. Although plastic materials degrade over extreme long …

Microplastics are created for commercial use, are shed from textiles, or result from the
breakdown of larger plastic items. Recent reports have shown that microplastics accumulate …

Detection of microplastics is still challenging due to limitations of current methods,
instrumentation, and particle size. In this work, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy …

When plastics enter the environment, they are exposed to abiotic and biotic impacts,
resulting in degradation and the formation of micro-and nanoplastic. Microplastic is …

As emerging contaminants, microplastics are challenging to characterize, particularly when
their size is at the nanoscale. While imaging technology has received increasing attention …

The extensive use of plastics leads to the release and diffusion of microplastics. Household
plastic products occupy a large part and are closely related to daily life. Due to the small size …

Owing to environmental concerns, microplastics pollution has been the object of increasing
attention. Currently, the chemical composition of microplastics is commonly detected using …

The reduction of renewable freshwater and the increased variety of water pollutants have
made governments establish well-documented monitoring programs to maintain the quality …

Microplastics are one of the most concerning groups of contaminants that pollute most of the
surroundings of the Earth. The abundance of plastic materials available in the environment …
