Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent
discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Humans are exposed to microplastics (MPs) daily via ingestion and inhalation. It is not
known whether this results in adverse health effects and, if so, at what levels of exposure …

The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine
environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic …

Microplastics (MPs) are fragments, fibers, granules, flakes and spheres with a diameter or
length of less than 5 mm. These may eventually end up in the aquatic environment by the …

Microplastics (MPs) have been seen over recent years as a major water contaminant with
significant potential for adverse health and animal health effects. Natural attenuation has …

Organisms constantly ingest microplastics directly from the environment or indirectly via
trophic transfer due to the pervasiveness of microplastic pollution. However, most previous …

Embryonic stage is important for the development of aquatic animals, and embryonic
chorion is an efficient barrier against exogenous pollutants. The efficient barrier function of …

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 …

Microplastic and nanoplastic pollution in aquatic environments is a topic of emerging
concern due to the internalization, retention time and effects of these particles in aquatic …
