Humic acids (HAs) are natural organic polymers that are widely distributed in terrestrial soils,
natural water, and sediments. Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, HAs …

A growing body of evidence shows that microplastic pollution is ubiquitous in bivalve
mollusks globally and is of particular concern due to its potential impact on human health …

With current plastic production and the growing problem of global plastic pollution, an
increase and improvement in plastic recycling is needed. There is limited knowledge or …

Raman spectral libraries specific to microplastics demonstrated improved spectral matching
results when weathered plastics and a variety of particle colors and morphologies were …

Microplastics are ubiquitous and persistent contaminants in the ocean and a pervasive and
preventable threat to the health of marine ecosystems. Microplastics come in a wide variety …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the degradation characteristics of different
microplastics (polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)) …

Microplastic (MP) ingestion, along with accumulated plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA),
bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates represented by diethyl phthalate …

While microplastics are a pollutant of growing concern in various environmental
compartments, less is known regarding the sources and delivery pathways of microplastics …

Filter-feeder organisms such as oyster and mussels are exposed to particles like
microplastics (MPs). Although widely used to monitor MPs contamination, little is known …

The aim of this review was to identify the current knowledge regarding the concentration of
microplastics in bivalves in the marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. For this …
