Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global
population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water …

The protein corona spontaneously develops and evolves on the surface of nanoscale
materials when they are exposed to biological environments, altering their physiochemical …

Abstract Background Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential
risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this risk …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental pollutants,
having a major ecotoxicological concern to humans and many other biotas, especially …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are key indicators of the plasticine era,
widely spread across different ecosystems. MPs and NPs become global stressors due to …

Understanding the effects of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a priority in
environmental research. A central aspect of this suite of pollutants is that it entails particles …

Plastic film mulch (PFM) is a double-edged-sword agricultural technology, which greatly
improves global agricultural production but can also cause severe plastic pollution of the …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …
