Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern due to its omnipresence and
degradation to smaller particles. The potential toxicological effects of micro-and nanoplastic …

Nanoplastics are associated with several risks to the ecology and toxicity to humans.
Nanoplastics are synthetic polymers with dimensions ranging from 1 nm to 1 μm. They are …

Due to the small size, high mobility and large surface area, nanoplastics (NPs) showed high
potential risks to aquatic organisms. This paper reviews the toxicity of NPs to aquatic …

Emerging contaminants, such as nanoplastics, are gaining a vast interest within the scientific
community. Most of the plastic debris found in the marine environment originates from land …

The manifestation of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) has become a major challenge owing to their unique characteristics such …

Plastic pollution is a worldwide problem, highlighted by the fact that plastic materials
degrade into nano-size particles (< 100 nm), potentially becoming more bioavailable as well …

Plastic pollution has been globally recognized as a critical issue for marine ecosystems and
nanoplastics constitute one of the last unexplored areas to understand the magnitude of this …

The ubiquity and detrimental effects of plastics in the environment have become global
environmental concerns over the past decade. Intensive anthropogenic activities, such as …

Nowadays, there is an increased awareness on the threat that marine litter may pose to the
marine environment. This review describes the major concerns related to plastic pollution …
