Microplastics have been identified as an emerging pollutant due to their irrefutable
prevalence in air, soil, and particularly, the aquatic ecosystem. Wastewater treatment plants …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered to be the main sources of microplastic
contaminants in the aquatic environment, and an in-depth understanding of the behavior of …

Plastic wastes are produced in a large amount everywhere, and are commonly disposed in
landfills. So landfill leachate seems an obvious source of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are emerging global pollutants that garnered
enormous attention due to their potential threat to the ecosystem in virtue of their persistence …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are an important route for microplastics to enter
aquatic environments. Microplastics have been recently identified in sewage samples in …

This is the first study to show microplastics contamination in an alluvial sedimentary aquifer
that has been capped from the atmosphere. Microplastics are often reported in biotic and …

Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments increased strongly during the
last decade. Environmental monitoring studies detected microplastic items in every tested …

The last decade has been transformative for micro (nano) plastic (MnP) research with recent
discoveries revealing the extent and magnitude of MnP pollution, even in the world's most …

Microplastics have recently been detected in drinking water as well as in drinking water
sources. This presence has triggered discussions on possible implications for human health …

Microplastics have aroused increasing concern as they pose threats to aquatic species as
well as human beings. They do not only contribute to accumulation of plastics in the …
