Industrial progress has brought us an important polymer material, ie plastic. Because of
mass production and use, and improper management and disposal, plastic pollution has …

The occurrence of microplastics in the aquatic environment has become a growing concern
globally. Microplastics pose a hazard to the ecological system, and their presence …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

Microplastics are considered detrimental to aquatic organisms due to their potential
accumulation along food chains. Thus, it is puzzling why some of them appear unaffected by …

Although we are witnesses of an increase in the number of studies examining the
exposure/effects of microplastics (MPs) on different organisms, there are many unknowns …

Various microplastics (MPs) are found in the environment and organisms. MP residues in
organisms can affect health; however, their impacts on metabolism in aquatic organisms …

In this study, the hypothesis that polyethylene microplastics (MPs) can accumulate in
animals, reach the upper trophic level and trigger behavioral changes was tested …

We aim at evaluating the toxicity of naturally-aged polystyrene microplastics (MPs) in Danio
rerio at intermediate development stage. Animal models were stactically exposed to 4× 10 4 …

Hazardous anthropogenic particles, such as microplastics (MPs) in the lake ecosystems, are
a serious concern. In this work, we have investigated the seasonal occurrence and …
