Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread
distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in …

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 …

Plastic products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of
substances including catalyst remnants, polymerization solvents, and a wide range of other …

Microplastics are widely existed in marine and coastal environments, which aroused global
concern in recent years. This review mainly summarized the interactions of organic …

Micro and nanoplastics are fragments with dimensions less than a millimeter invading all
terrestrial and marine environments. They have become a major global environmental issue …

Microplastics and antibiotics are two classes of emerging contaminants with proposed
negative impacts to aqueous ecosystems. Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics may …

At least 300 Mio t of plastic are produced annually, from which large parts end up in the
environment, where it persists over decades, harms biota and enters the food chain. Yet …

Microplastics (particles with a size< 5 mm), one of the most emerging aquatic pollutants, are
of particular concern since they can reach high densities and interact with biotic and abiotic …

In this study, the quantitative and qualitative compositions of microplastics (MPs) deposited
from the atmosphere in the coastal zone were analysed. Moreover, links between MP …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are considered to be emerging pollutants of global concern.
Investigations on microplastics pollution in coastal and marine environments have increased …
