Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Microplastics are emerging contaminants and their presence in water and soil ecosystems
has recently drawn considerable attention because they pose a great threat to entire …

Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in
about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled …

Fragmented or otherwise miniaturized plastic materials in the form of micro-or nanoplastics

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a significant environmental concern due to the persistence of
MPs and their potential adverse effects on biota. Most scientific studies have examined the …

As a consequence of the global ubiquity of plastic pollution, scientists, decision‐makers, and
the public often ask whether macroplastics (> 5 mm) and microplastics (< 5 mm) have a …

Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …

The prevalence of microplastic debris in aquatic ecosystems as a result of anthropogenic
activity has received worldwide attention. Although extensive research has reported …
