Microplastics are small plastic pieces with sizes less than 5 mm. Due to their widespread
distribution in different environmental compartments, food, and drinking water, microplastics …

The ubiquity of microplastics in aquatic and terrestrial environments and related ecological
impacts have gained global attention. Microplastics have been detected in table salt …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Background Microplastics (MP) are plastic particles with dimension up to 5 mm. Due to their
persistence, global spread across different ecosystems and potential human health effects …

Urban runoff seems an obvious pathway for the transfer of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate
acid esters (PAEs) from land-based sources to the marine environment; an issue that still …

In recent years, the presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) has been
assessed in several environmental matrices, including the marine environment and …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) with sizes< 5 mm are found in various compositions, shapes,
morphologies, and textures that are the major sources of environmental pollution. The …

Microplastic contamination in the environment is a global problem, as evidenced by the
increasing amount of research worldwide. To our knowledge, this study is the first to …

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 …

Since microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have started emerging as ubiquitous
contaminants in the environment, a variety of analytical techniques has been developed and …
