Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and
humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth …

Microplastics are an emerging global environmental contaminant that are affecting multiple
spheres. Despite their ubiquity in all spheres of life and ecology, little is known about the …

Tiny plastic particles considered as emerging contaminants have attracted considerable
interest in the last few years. Mechanical abrasion, photochemical oxidation and biological …

Fragmented or otherwise miniaturized plastic materials in the form of micro-or nanoplastics
have been of nagging environmental concern. Perturbation of organismal physiology and …

Abstract Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) are gaining high attention worldwide as an emerging
environmental contaminant because they are easier to be taken up by organisms and likely …

Plastic based products are ubiquitous due to their tremendous utility in our daily lives.
However, the limited biodegradable nature of plastics has recently raised pollution concerns …

Silicone-rubber baby teats used to bottle-feed infants are frequently disinfected by moist
heating. However, infant exposure to small microplastics (< 10 μm) potentially released from …

Currently, there is a lack of information about the influence of foliar-applied nanoplastics on
crop growth and nutritional quality. To fill the knowledge gap, soil-grown lettuces (Lactuca …

On account of environmental concerns, the fate and adverse effects of plastics have
attracted considerable interest in the past few years. Recent studies have indicated the …
