Plastic pollution and climate change have commonly been treated as two separate issues
and sometimes are even seen as competing. Here we present an alternative view that these …

Plastics are fossil fuel-derived products. The emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) during
different processes involved in the lifecycle of plastic-related products are a significant threat …

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 exists worldwide and research on microplastic pollution has gradually spread
from the oceans to freshwater and terrestrial systems. Coral reefs not only serve as one of …

Multiple international agencies have recently raised environmental and health concerns
regarding plastics in nanoforms (nanoplastics), but there is insufficient knowledge of their …

Ocean health is faltering, its capability for regeneration and renewal being eroded by a
steady pulse of anthropomorphic impacts. Plastic waste has infiltrated all ocean biomes …

This article seeks to present a summary of knowledge and thus improve awareness of
microplastic impacts on corals. Recent research suggests that microplastics have a variety of …

Plastic pollution is an emerging stressor that increases pressure on ecosystems such as
coral reefs that are already challenged by climate change. However, the effects of plastic …

Plastic pollution pervades both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, fragmenting over time into
microplastics (MPs) and nano-plastics (NPs). These particles infiltrate organisms via …

Plastic pollution in a growing problem globally. In addition to the continuous flow of plastic
particles to the environment from direct sources, and through the natural wear and tear of …
