This paper explores different interactions and processes involved in the transport of
microplastics from agricultural systems to surrounding environments. We conducted an …

Although the study of microplastics in the aquatic environment incorporates a diversity of
research fields, it is still in its infancy in many aspects while comparable topics have been …

The rapid development of modern society has largely increased the usage of plastic.
Concerns arise when vast amount of plastic waste has been generated and disposed. The …

With the reported ability of microplastics (MPs) to act as “Trojan horses” carrying other
environmental contaminants, the focus of researches has shifted from their ubiquitous …

As emerging contaminants, microplastics (MPs) have attracted global attention. They are a
potential risk to organisms, ecosystems and human health. MPs are characterized by small …

Recent years have seen upsurge in plastic manufacturing and its utilization in various fields,
such as, packaging, household goods, medical applications, and beauty products. Due to …

Non-degradable pollutants have emerged as a result of industrialization, population growth,
and lifestyle changes, endangering human health and the environment. Bioremediation is …

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in commercial products. Like all plastics,
polystyrene can be degraded into microplastic and nanoplastic particles and ingested via …

Concern about microplastic pollution sourced from mismanaged plastic waste losses to
drainage basins is growing but lacks relevant environmental impact analyses. Here, we …

We developed a regional atmospheric transport model for microplastics (MPs, 10 μm to 5
mm in size) over Asia and the adjacent Pacific and Indian oceans, accounting for MPs' size …
