[HTML][HTML] A critical review of the novel analytical methods for the determination of microplastics in sand and sediment samples
Microplastics (MPs) form the most investigated plastic category since their size (1 μm-5 mm)
enables them to accumulate in various environmental compartments and to be ingested by …

Biodegradation of microplastics: Advancement in the strategic approaches towards prevention of its accumulation and harmful effects
Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles in a size ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm in diameter,
and are formed by the breakdown of plastics from different sources. They are emerging …
