Microplastics are widely used and inevitably released into the environment, which can be
easily enriched in wastewater treatment plants. This review assesses their potential effects …

Metal (loid) s have a dual biological role as micronutrients and stress agents. A few
geochemical and natural processes can cause their release in the environment, although …

This paper reports on the use of scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) to locally
map the ionic properties and charge environment of two live bacterial strains: the Gram …
