With the benefits of coming at low-cost, being light-weight and having a high formability and
durability, conventional plastics are widely used in both industry and daily life. However …

The ecological impacts of micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) have attracted attention worldwide
because of their global occurrence, persistence, and environmental risks. Increasing …

Biodegradable plastic is considered one of the most promising alternatives to agricultural
mulch. However, the impact of biodegradable microplastics on agricultural ecosystems is …

Increasing usage of plastic has led to the deposition of plastic in the environment which later
become microplastic, a pollutant of global concern. These polymeric particles affect the …
