Microplastics, which serve as sources and vector transport of organic contaminants in both
terrestrial and marine environments, are emerging micropollutants of increasing concerns …

Microplastic pollution is a major threat to the marine environment attracting attention from
scientific and public communities. Although we have sufficient evidence that microplastic is …

Since the advent of microplastics, it has become a vital component, directly or indirectly, in
our daily lives. With advancements in their use, microplastics have become an integral part …

Microplastic (MP) pollution waste is a global macro problem, and research on MP
contamination has been done in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. Preventing …

Plastic debris is an established environmental menace affecting aquatic systems globally.
Recently, microplastics (MP) and plastic leachates (PL) have been detected in vital human …

Microplastics are emerging as prominent pollutants across the globe. Oceans are becoming
major sinks for these pollutants, and their presence is widespread in coastal regions …

The interactions of microplastics with aquatic organisms have been studied primarily using
animal species, with dietary ingestion being the most important uptake route. However …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm)(MPs) are widely distributed throughout the world, and their
accumulation and migration in the environment have caused health and safety concerns …

To improve our understanding and management of marine plastic pollution of the ocean, a
total plastic budget is needed which quantifies the sources and sinks, as well as inputs and …
