The abundant and widespread presence of particulate plastics in the environment is
considered an area of increasing environmental, animal and human health concern. Despite …

The ubiquitous occurrence of micro/nano plastics (MNPs) poses potential threats to
ecosystem and human health that have attracted broad concerns in recent decades …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

Plastics are widely used by society, and their degradation into millimetre fragments, called
microplastics (MPs), has become a global environmental threat to ecosystems and human …

Rivers are the key conduits for land-to-sea debris transport. We present in situ monitoring
data of macro debris and microplastic along the supercritical Citarum River in Indonesia We …

We investigated microplastic (MP) contamination in 16 commonly-consumed protein
products (seafoods, terrestrial meats, and plant-based proteins) purchased in the United …

The study identified and quantified nine plastic polymers frequently detected in the
environment by collecting sediment and seawater samples from coastal areas in Auckland …

Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) techniques are critical to analytical chemistry,
and thus the analysis of microplastics. Procedural blanks are a key component of QA/QC for …

Importance Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental and health concern.
While MPs have been detected in various human tissues, their presence in the human brain …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman microspectroscopy are methods applied in
microplastics research to determine the chemical identity of microplastics. These techniques …
