Microplastics (particles with a size< 5 mm), one of the most emerging aquatic pollutants, are
of particular concern since they can reach high densities and interact with biotic and abiotic …

Microplastic contamination of the oceans is one of the world's most pressing environmental
concerns. The terrestrial component of the global microplastic budget is not well understood …

The current paper critically reviews the state-of-the-science on (1) microplastics (MP) types
and particle concentrations in freshwater ecosystems,(2) MP and nanoplastics (NP) uptake …

With the reported ability of microplastics (MPs) to act as “Trojan horses” carrying other
environmental contaminants, the focus of researches has shifted from their ubiquitous …

Microplastics are ubiquitous in marine environments. Sediments and marine organisms are
recognized as the carriers and final destinations of microplastics. However, research on the …

Microplastics, as a class of widely dispersed persistent pollutants, the main reactive oxygen
species is far from clarified in their photocatalytic degradation. In this study, a novel hydroxy …

In the aquatic environment, microplastic (MP;< 5 mm) is a cause of concern because of its
persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Studies of microlitter impacts are mostly …

Microplastics (MPs) are present throughout aquatic ecosystems, and can be ingested by a
wide variety of organisms. At present, the physical and chemical effects of environmental …

Microplastics are widely identified in aquatic environments, but their impacts on
phytoplankton have not been extensively studied. Here, the responses of Chlorella …

The environmental impacts of plastics have become an important political and academic
topic. One of the main applications of plastics is packaging, a product with a very short …
