Microplastic pollution has emerged as a new environmental concern due to our reliance on
plastic. Recent years have seen an upward trend in scholarly interest in the topic of …

Abstract Microplastics (size< 5 mm) debris are environmentally persistent pollutants that
severely affect terrestrial ecosystems by promoting the loss of soil fertility, and microbiome …

Climate change and extreme weather events (such as droughts, heatwaves, rainstorms and
floods) pose serious challenges for water management, in terms of both water resources …

Microplastics, the microscopic plastics, are fragments of any type of plastic that are being
produced today as plastic waste originating from anthropogenic activities. Such …

Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

As a type of emerging pollutant, microplastics exist widely in soil and continue to migrate
and transform. Recently, the potential threats of microplastics to soil health and ecological …

Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

Microplastics (plastic< 5 mm in size) are now known to contaminate riverine systems but
understanding about how their concentrations vary spatially and temporally is limited. This …

The development and applications of effective analytical techniques for identification and
quantification of microplastics in diverse spheres are increasing in the scientific arena. Nile …

Abundance, chemical composition and ecological risk of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial
and marine environments have merited substantial attention from the research communities …
