Abstract Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) are gaining high attention worldwide as an emerging
environmental contaminant because they are easier to be taken up by organisms and likely …

Mass spectrometry has emerged as a vital tool for microplastics (MPs) analysis, offering
sensitivity and specificity to identify diverse polymer types. This review explores mass …

Environmental biotic and abiotic components are threatened by the continuous use,
accumulation, and contamination of plastics. Additionally, it contributes to global warming by …

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are produced by abrasion at the interface of the
pavement and tread surface and contain tread rubber with road mineral encrustations …

Nanoplastics are persistent pollutants that can cause severe toxicity to mammals. To date,
no technology could simultaneously capture nanoplastic chemical and morphological …

Microplastic particles are currently detected in almost all environmental compartments. The
results of detection vary widely, as a multitude of very different methods are used with very …

The broad application of plastic products has resulted in a considerable release of
microplastics (MPs) into the ecosystem. While MPs in other environmental matrices (eg, soil …

The increasing demand for plastic in our daily lives has led to global plastic pollution. The
improper disposal of plastic has resulted in a massive amount of atmospheric microplastics …

Monitoring of microplastics (MP) release into the aquatic environment is an important topic
and proposed point sources for microplastics are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) …

Plastic litter dispersed in the different environmental compartments represents one of the
most concerning problems associated with human activities. Specifically, plastic particles in …
