With the reported ability of microplastics (MPs) to act as “Trojan horses” carrying other
environmental contaminants, the focus of researches has shifted from their ubiquitous …

Microplastics are< 5 mm in size, made up of diverse chemical components, and come from
multiple sources. Due to extensive use and unreasonable disposal of plastics, microplastics …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are widely distributed in various environments, including soil, and have
been known to adversely affect soil organisms. Currently, most of the obtained studies were …

Abstract Nanoplastics (NPs)(< 1 μm) have gradually attracted worldwide attention owing to
their widespread occurrence, distribution, and ecosystem risks. Few studies have explored …

Microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) have been found in multiple environments and
creatures. However, their effects on the airway microbiota still remain poorly understood. In …

The earthworm gut bacterial community and enzyme activities play a key role in many soil
ecosystem functions, but how the addition of different types of biochar (used to improve soil …

The impact of micro-and nanoplastics (M/NPs) on terrestrial ecosystems has been a hot
topic in recent years since the soil has been recognized as an important sink for M/NPs. In …

Reports of plastics, at higher levels than previously thought, in the water that we drink and
the air that we breathe, are generating considerable interest and concern. Plastics have …

Aged microplastics (MPs) alter the interaction with heavy metals due to changes in surface
properties. However, the combined toxicological effects of aged MPs on heavy metals in soil …

Microplastics (MPs) are recognized as emergent pollutants and have become a significant
environmental concern, especially when combined with other contaminants. In this study …
