Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular
thermoplastic materials that have found such applications are polyethylene (PE) …

In recent decades, environmental pollution from microplastic (MPs:< 5 mm) and climate
change have received international attention. However, these two issues have been …

Microplastic (MPs) contamination in groundwater has received massive attention since
plastic waste has been released directly into the environment. This study investigates MPs …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants in agricultural regions owing to the
widespread use of plastics in farming activities. Groundwater has a vital role in farming …

With the increasing use of plastics, nano-and micro-plastic (NMP) pollution has become a
hot topic in the scientific community. Ubiquitous NMPs, as emerging contaminants, are …

While microplastic analysis in aquatic systems is rather well standardized, the determination
of microplastics in terrestrial samples has been less explored. Here, we review methods for …

Plastic pollution is considered to be one of the major problems of the 21st century. The issue
gets worse when dealing with the plastics pollution on a micro scale. The plastic particle of …

Abstract In recent years, Microplastics (MPs) have gained significant attention all over the
world due to their propensity to pollute the environment and transfer toxins into the food …

Groundwater is a critical resource for drinking, agriculture, and domestic purposes but is
under threat from micro and nano plastic (MNP) pollution. MNPs can contaminate aquifers …

Abstract Microplastics (plastics< 5 mm) are emerging contaminants that have been detected
in virtually all environments. While microplastic research in terrestrial surface waters has …
