The distribution and abundance of microplastics into the world are so extensive that many
scientists use them as key indicators of the recent and contemporary period defining a new …

Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants leading to inevitable human
exposure. Even so, little is known about the effects of microplastics in human health. Thus, in …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have attracted considerable attention in
the recent years as potential threats to the ecosystem and public health. This review …

Civilization development is associated with the use of plastic. When plastic was introduced
to the market, it was assumed that it was less toxic than glass. Recently, it is known that …

Nanoparticles (NPs) and submicron particles are increasingly used as carriers for delivering
therapeutic compounds to cells. Their entry into the cell represents the initial step in this …

Microplastic presence in seafood and foodstuff have been documented globally in recent
studies. Consequently, human exposure to microplastics through the ingestion of …

The production and use of plastics has constantly increased over the last 30 years. Over one
third of the plastics is used in disposables, which are discarded within three years of their …

Micro‐and nanoplastics are generated from plastics and have negative impacts on the
environment due to their high level of fragmentation. They can originate from various …

Microplastics are abundant in oceans, lakes, soils and even air, and can pose potential
threats to human health through food or respiratory intake. Moreover, microplastics have …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and more abundant in the marine
environment. Consequently, increasing focus has been put on MPs in oceans and seas …
