Microplastics (MPs), polymer particles capable of adsorbing heavy metals from ambient
environment, have been found in diverse human food resources. Through the consumption …

Microplastics can act as carriers of heavy metals and may enter humans through ingestion
and threaten human health. However, the bioaccessibility of heavy metals associated with …

The behavior of microplastics (MPs) as vectors of environmental contaminants in aquatic
systems can change the fate and transport of some toxic substances and promote their …

Microplastics (MPs) can pose ecological risk to the environment and have the potential to
negatively affect human health, raising serious public concerns. It is recognized that MPs …

Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) in human food system have been broadly recognized
by researchers and have drawn an increasing public attention to their potential health risks …

The human body is exposed to the ingestion of microplastics that are often contaminated
with other substances, which can be released into our body. In this work, a dynamic in-vitro …

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 …

Plastic pollution is a major issue worldwide, generating massive amounts of smaller plastic
particles, including microplastics (MPs). Their ubiquitous nature in the environment but also …

Microplastics (MPs) usually coexist with heavy metals (HMs) in soil. MPs can influence HMs
mobility and bioavailability, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored …

Anthropogenic development has released large amounts of microplastics (MPs), which are
carriers of migratory heavy metals, into the environment, and heavy metal adsorption by MPs …
