Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent
discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation …

Exposure to micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) is inevitable due to their omnipresence in the
environment. A growing body of studies has advanced our understanding of the potential …

Microplastics (MPs) are new environmental pollutants and have received widespread
attention in recent years, but the toxicity of the MPs remains to be fully elucidated. To explore …

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental threats the world is facing
currently. The degradation of macroplastics into smaller forms viz. microplastics (MPs) or …

Background The environmental pollution by microplastics is a global problem arising from
the extensive production and use of plastics. Small particles of different plastics, measured …

Healthy soil is foundational to human health. Healthy soil is needed to grow crops, provides
food, and sustains populations. It supports diverse ecosystems and critical ecological …

With the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2),
