Microplastics are a pollutant of growing concern, capable of harming aquatic organisms and
entering the food web. While freshwater microplastic research has expanded in recent …

Plastic pollution is recognized as a severe anthropogenic issue in the coastal and marine
ecosystems across the world. Unprecedented and continuous accumulation of growing …

Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

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 …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

Extensive presence of microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment has recently been
identified as a critical global challenge. A large proportion of the microplastic in aquatic …

Research on microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial environment is currently at a still
embryonal stage. The current knowledge concerning poorly known diffuse sources of MPs …

Microplastic pollution has been paid attention due to the possibly global threat to human
health and ecosystem in recent years. In this study, we investigated the distribution of …

Land-based sources are considered the most important source of microplastic pollution to
marine environment. Stormwater runoff has been identified as one of the main pollutant …
