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 …

Plastic litters have become the predominant components of marine debris due to extensive
consumption plastics and mismanagement of plastic wastes. As part of the problem …

Despite growing plastic discharge into the environment, researchers have struggled to
detect expected increases of marine plastic debris in sea surfaces, sparking discussions …

There is increasing scientific and public concern over the presence of microplastics in the
natural environment. We present the results of a systematic review of the literature to assess …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Extensive applications of plastic in human life has caused substantial microplastic pollution
in the global environment, which, due to plastic's ubiquitous nature and everlasting …

Microplastics (MPs) are generated from plastic and have negative impact to our environment
due to high level of fragmentation. They can be originated from various sources in different …

The widespread occurrence of microplastic has invaded the environment to an extent that it
appears to be present throughout the globe. This review investigated the global abundance …

Microplastics are pervasive pollutants and have been found in all environmental
compartments globally, including aquatic ecosystems. Ingestion and trophic transfer of …

Microplastics (MPs), as an entirely anthropogenic type of pollution, are considered to be
stratigraphic markers of the Anthropocene Epoch, and have become of increasing public …
