Plastics and microplastics are difficult to degrade in the natural environment due to their
hydrophobicity, the presence of stable covalent bonds and functional groups that are not …

Microplastics (MPs) in everyday consumer products have paved the way for high MPs
concentrations in wastewater. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) s are the significant …

It is well known that microplastics (MPs) may experience weathering and aging under
ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation, but it remains unclear if these processes are impacted by …

The omnipresent micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) in urban waters arouse great public
concern. To build a MP/NP-free urban water system, enormous efforts have been made to …

Microplastic waste is an emerging global issue due to its environmental effect of
accumulation in ecosystems, and waste managing systems have given rise to its presence …

Natural hydroxyl radical (· OH) production, which partially occurs through the microbially
driven Fenton reaction, can enhance the degradation of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) …

Nanotechnology and metal-doping are two promising techniques to make semiconductive
material-based photocatalysts with higher surface area and modulating electronic structure …

Microplastics are a silent threat that represent a high degree of danger to the environment in
its different ecosystems and of course will also have an important impact on the health of …

The presence of microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) in the environment poses
significant hazards towards microorganisms, humans, animals and plants. This paper is …

In modern society, plastics also play an indispensable role in people's lives due to their
various excellent properties. However, when these plastic products are discarded after …
