Plastic fibers are ubiquitous in daily life with additives incorporated to improve their
performance. Only a few restrictions exist for a paucity of common additives, while most of …

Despite of our growing understanding of microplastic's implications, research on the effects
of fibrous microplastic (FMPs) on the environment is still in its infancy. Some scientists have …

The production and consumption of textiles is continuously increasing due to the growth of
population and fast fashion. Fiber fragments (1 µm–5 mm) released from garments and …

Abstract Microplastics (MP), ie, particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, are considered
emerging pollutants. The ubiquity of MP is causing great concern among environmental and …

Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global concern in terms of its environmental
abundance and potential detrimental effects. Fibrous microplastics (FMPs) released from …

Microplastics (MPs) are micro-particulate pollutants present in all environments whose
ubiquity leads humans to unavoidable exposure. Due to low density, MPs also accumulate …

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found in various
environmental media, including soil, water, and air, and have infiltrated the food chain …

Human-health risks from microplastics have attracted considerable attention, but little is
known about human-exposure pathways and intensities. Recent studies posited that …

Abstract Microplastics (synthetic polymers< 5 mm) have been recently recognized as a big
environmental concern, as their ubiquity is an undeniable fact. Their wide variety regarding …

Environmental microplastics are gaining interest due to their ubiquity and the threat they
pose to environmental and human health. Critical studies have revealed the abundance of …
