Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Plastic pollution is currently one of the environmental pollution issues of global concern, and
microplastics (plastics with a size≤ 5 mm) have also attracted much attention due to their …

Plastic cutting boards are a potentially significant source of microplastics in human food.
Thus, we investigated the impact of chopping styles and board materials on microplastics …

Aquatic ecosystems are among the main destination for microplastics (MPs) in the
environment. MPs that enter aquatic ecosystems can contribute to pollution together with …

In rivers, riverbeds are considered to have dual properties as a short-term sink and a source
of further mobilization for microplastics. To better understand the sources, storage, and fate …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in agricultural soils, but to what extent and how
environmental factors determine the source and fate of MPs in agricultural soils is not clear …

The first investigation of microplastics in G. affinis from the Brantas River was carried out in
this study. Microplastics were found at higher concentrations in gambusia fish captured …

Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) have been extensively applied in biomonitoring and other
environmental fields based on their high enrichment capacity and rapid response to …

Microplastic (MP) contamination in the aquatic ecosystems is a growing global
environmental issue that can cause detrimental effects on aquatic species. In this study, MPs …

Microplastics have been detected in global aquatic ecosystems, so it is vital to understand
the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of microplastics for ecological risk assessment …
