Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Microplastics are small plastic pieces with sizes less than 5 mm. Due to their widespread
distribution in different environmental compartments, food, and drinking water, microplastics …

Most microplastics are emitted, either directly or via the degradation of plastics, to the
terrestrial environment and accumulate in large amounts in soils, representing a potential …

Microplastics are well known for vector transport of hydrophobic organic contaminants, and
there are growing concerns regarding their potential adverse effects on ecosystems and …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Plastics are fossil fuel-derived products. The emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) during
different processes involved in the lifecycle of plastic-related products are a significant threat …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and living
organisms have been exposed to these substances for a long time. When MPs/NPs enter …
