Contamination of waters and soils with microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental
issue worldwide. MPs constitute a cocktail of various additives and polymers besides …

Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread
distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in …

In recent decades, much attention has been paid to microplastic pollution, and research on
microplastics has begun to grow exponentially. However, microplastics research still suffers …

Wide usage of plastic products leads to the global occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in the
aquatic environment. Due to the small size, they can be bio-ingested, which may cause …

Microplastics have become predominant contaminants, attracting much political and
scientific attention. Despite the massively-increasing research on microplastics effects on …

Microplastic (MP) contamination is considered one of the emerging environmental problems,
and ecological effects investigation is critical to pollution control. This work aimed to …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in various environment compartments, including food.
Here, we collected research reports of MPs in food published during 2010–2020, and …

In the present study, microplastic-associated biofilms were cultivated in an urban lake and a
reservoir using virgin expanded polystyrene (PS). The uptake of Pb (II) onto both natural …

It has been wildly reported that microplastics (MPs) can adsorb heavy metals and act as
carriers for their transport into organisms. However, the combined toxicity of MPs and heavy …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in aquatic environments is considered a global
threat to aquatic organisms. Species of the genus Daphnia provide an important link …
