The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the
environmental risk of MPs. It is necessary to pay attention to the adsorption/desorption …

Monitoring the movement of plastic into marine food webs is central to understanding and
mitigating the plastic pollution crisis. Bioindicators have been a component of the …

Anthropogenic debris has been documented in Antarctica for the past 40 years. Upon
breakdown, large pieces become microdebris, which reaches the seafloor through a variety …

Microplastic pollution is a growing environmental issue, even reaching remote areas like the
Arctic and Antarctic, posing threats to biodiversity and food chains. The present research …

Nanoplastics and engineering nanomaterials (ENMs) are contaminants of emerging
concern (CECs), increasingly being detected in the marine environment and recognized as …

Although Antarctica is the most isolated continent on Earth, its remote location does not
protect it from the impacts of human activities. Antarctic metazoans such as filter-feeding …

Marine microdebris (MD) seem to be widespread in benthic invertebrates, even in the most
remote areas of the planet such as Antarctica, although the information available is still very …

Microplastics (MP) have spread to every corner of the globe, reaching remote areas like
Antarctica. Recent studies detected MP in marine environments, including biota. Benthic …

Plastic pollution is a threat to ecosystems worldwide. Understanding its extent and impacts is
essential for effective mitigation efforts. Our review highlights the scarcity of long-term …
