Plastic particles smaller than 5 mm accumulate in aqueous, terrestrial, and atmospheric
environments and their discovery has been a serious concern when it comes to eco …

Mass spectrometry has emerged as a vital tool for microplastics (MPs) analysis, offering
sensitivity and specificity to identify diverse polymer types. This review explores mass …

The widespread use of plastics, popular for their versatility and cost-efficiency in mass

Abstract Development of analytical methods for the characterization (particle size
determination, identification, and quantification) of the micro-and nanoscale plastic debris in …

Plastics have shaped the world with their profound uses but have become a pervasive and
growing problem for the environment. Fragmented plastics, including mega-, meso-, micro …

Microplastics (MPs) have globally been detected in aquatic and marine environments, which
has raised scientific interests and public health concerns during the past decade. MPs are …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) constitute a newly recognized class of
contaminants of emerging concern in air, soil, water and food, causing unavoidable …

The development of quantitative and qualitative analytical methods to assess micro-plastics
(MPLs) and nano-plastics (NPLs) content in the environment is a central issue for realistic …

Numerous studies have shown the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment. As
an emerging global contaminant, the concentrations of MPs need to be evaluated, to assess …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …
