The effects of plastic debris on the environment and plant, animal, and human health are a
global challenge, with micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) being the main focus. MNPs are found …

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) are a widely recognized global problem due to their prevalence in
natural environments and the food chain. However, the impact of microplastics on human …

Microplastic particles are global pollutants which have been measured in drinking water,
dust, and some food items. Concerns about population exposures and the resulting risks to …

The production of plastic has dramatically increased in the last 50 y. Because of their
stability and durability, plastics are ubiquitously incorporated in both marine and terrestrial …

Micro/nanoplastics in the environment can be ingested by organisms and spread throughout
the food chain, ultimately posing a threat to human health. However, the risk of continuous …

Emerging studies have presented an initial picture of the toxic effects of exposure to
environmental micro-and nanoplastics. They have indicated that micro-and nanoplastics …

Abstract Background Microplastics (MPs) contaminate the global marine and terrestrial
ecosystems. This environmental contamination can enter the food chain, with MPs found in …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and humans are inevitably exposed
to them. However, the effects of MPs in the human digestive environment are largely …

Background Together with poor biodegradability and insufficient recycling, the massive
production and use of plastics have led to widespread environmental contamination by nano …
