Nowadays, a growing number of microplastics are released into the environment due to the
extensive use and inappropriate management of plastic products. With the increasing body …

The production of fossil fuel-derived, synthetic plastics is continually increasing, while poor
plastic waste management has recently induced severe pollution issues. Microplastics are …

Although microplastics are known to pervade the global seafloor, the processes that control
their dispersal and concentration in the deep sea remain largely unknown. Here, we show …

Recently, studies on microplastics (MPs) have increased rapidly due to the growing
awareness of the potential health risks related to their occurrence. The first part of this review …

Study of hazardous microplastics in the natural water resources is minimal compared to the
sea salt, seafood and even packaged water. We presented results of the first baseline …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

The continuous increase in synthetic plastic production and poor management in plastic
waste have led to a tremendous increase in the dumping into our aqueous environment …

Microplastic pollution in global aquatic environments has aroused increasing concern in
recent years. In this study, the occurrence of microplastics in multiple environmental …

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 …

We investigated microplastic pollution levels in surface waters and sediments from the Three
Gorges Reservoir (TGR). The TGR is the largest reservoir in China and is located across the …
