There is currently a shift from petrochemical to bio-based plastics (bioplastics). The
application of comprehensive and appropriately designed LCA studies are imperative to …

The prevalence of microplastics has heightened awareness of cross-contamination
concerns in recent years, making quality control and assurance critical for the quantitative …

Microplastics are widely distributed environmental contaminants. To understand their
impacts on the environment and health, more high-quality results are needed. Since …

Microplastic and nanoplastic contamination is widespread and affects aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems. Photosynthetic organisms are present in both media, they are primary …

Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been
widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information …

The seafloor covers some 70% of the Earth's surface and has been recognised as a major
sink for marine litter. Still, litter on the seafloor is the least investigated fraction of marine …

Plastics, and more specifically, microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) are considered a marine
contaminant of emerging concern. To accurately assess the ecological risk of MPs, it is …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants of great concern for the environment. MPs'
presence and concentration in the air, soil, marine, and freshwater environments have been …

Plastic is a ubiquitous contaminant of the Anthropocene. The highly diverse nature of
microplastic pollution means it is not a single contaminant, but a suite of chemicals that …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous emerging pollutants in
the environment. Although MPs/NPs' hazardous effects have been described at different …
