The mass production and wide application of plastics and their derivatives have led to the
release of a large number of discarded plastic products into the natural environment, where …

Recently, studies on microplastics (MPs) have increased rapidly due to the growing
awareness of the potential health risks related to their occurrence. The first part of this review …

Plastics enter the environment and break up into microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics
(NPs) by biotic and abiotic weathering. These small particles are widely distributed in the …

Microplastic pollution has raised global concern for its hazards to biota. To determine the
direct impact of microplastics during their contact with fish, we exposed goldfish (Carassius …

Fiber-based microplastics (FMPs) are highly persistent and ubiquitously exist in the
wastewater of textile industry and urban sewage. It remains challenging to completely …

Global microplastic (MP) pollution is a serious environmental problem that has been found
in various ecosystems, especially marine ecosystems. In this study, the water (surface …

Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a novel environmental pressure acting on freshwater
ecosystems. Improving our understanding of the dynamics of MP pollution in freshwater …

Microplastic (MP) pollution in oceans is an emerging environmental problem that poses
ecological risks for marine ecosystems. Based on the abundance, distribution, and …

Microplastics (MPs) have received increasing attention in the last decade and are now
considered among the most concerning emerging pollutants in natural environments. Here …

Microplastic particles (MPs) occur widely in aquatic ecosystems and are ingested by a wide
range of organisms. While trophic transfer of MPs is known to occur, researchers do not yet …
