Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and
humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth …

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 …

Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …

Fragmented or otherwise miniaturized plastic materials in the form of micro-or nanoplastics
have been of nagging environmental concern. Perturbation of organismal physiology and …

Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and low price, plastic has replaced part
of the use of stone, wood and metal. The inability to degrade and improper handling have …

Biodegradable polymers have been regarded as a promising solution to tackle the
pollutions caused by the wide use of conventional polymers. However, during the …

Given the global abundance and environmental persistence, exposure of humans and
(aquatic) animals to micro-and nanoplastics is unavoidable. Current evidence indicates that …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have received global concern due to its
widespread contamination, ingestion in aquatic organisms and the ability to cross the …

In the more than 100 years since the invention of plastics, various plastic polymers have
been developed that exhibit different characteristics and have been widely used in …

The ubiquitous use of microplastics and their release into the environment especially the
water bodies by anthropogenic/industrial activities are the major resources for microplastic …
