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 …

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

Plastic pollution is one of today's great environmental challenges. Research addressing the
issue of plastic pollution is growing, improving our predictions of risk, and informing the …

Despite the importance of estuaries as transition zones between freshwater and marine
compartments, their role in the transport of microplastics is still unclear. This review analyzes …

Tidal zones providing habitats are particularly vulnerable to microplastic (MP) pollution. In
this study, the effects of tidal cycles on the transport of MPs (4–6 μm polyethylene, PE1; 125 …

Databases recording the ingestion of microplastics by marine animals are growing. This is
also recurrent on sandy beaches, where different biomonitors have been proposed to …

The dispersion of microplastics (MPs) in coastal and marine environments and their
potential harmful effects on organisms and ecosystems makes MPs pollution an emerging …

The ubiquity of microplastics ecosystems has gained global attention. In this context, Latin
America, which is responsible for 8% of the world's consumption of plastic material and has …

Plastic film mulching can maintain soil water and heat conditions, promote plant growth and
thus generate considerable economic benefits in agriculture. However, as they age, these …

In coastal waters, higher concentrations of microplastics (MPs) are generally related to
densely populated and industrialized areas, but intense upwelling and offshore transport in …
