Polymers shape human life but they also have been identified as pollutants in the oceans
due to their long lifetime and low degradability. Recently, various researchers have studied …

Literature about the occurrence of microplastic in biological tissues has increased over the
last few years. This review aims to synthesis the evidence on the preparation of biological …

Plastic pollution in the world's oceans is ubiquitous and increasing. The environment is
inundated with microplastics (< 1 mm), and the health effects of these less conspicuous …

Although most plastic pollution originates on land, current research largely remains focused
on aquatic ecosystems. Studies pioneering terrestrial microplastic research have adapted …

Although we are witnesses of an increase in the number of studies examining the
exposure/effects of microplastics (MPs) on different organisms, there are many unknowns …

Pollution of the environment with plastic debris is a significant and rapidly expanding threat
to biodiversity due to its abundance, durability, and persistence. Current knowledge of the …

Plastic pollution can pose a threat to birds. Yet, little is known about the sublethal effects of
ingested microplastics (MP), and the effects of MP< 1 mm in birds remain unknown. This …

Seabirds are apex predators in the marine environment and well-known ecosystem
engineers, capable of changing their terrestrial habitats by introducing marine-derived …

Plastic ingestion has been documented in a plethora of taxa. However, there is a significant
gap in the detection of nano-and ultrafine particles due to size limitations of commonly used …

Oceans and coasts provide important ecosystem, livelihood, and cultural values to humans
and the planet but face current and future compounding threats from anthropogenic activities …
