As one of the emblematic emerging contaminants, microplastics (MPs) have aroused great
public concern. Nevertheless, the global community still insufficiently acknowledges the …

The present review discusses the growing concern of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics
(NPs) in soil, together with their sources, concentration, distribution, and impact on soil …

Due to limitations of sampling methods, subsurface water is usually a less well-investigated
compartment of the water column when scientists assess microplastic contamination. In this …

The aim of this study was to characterize and quantify microplastics (MPs) at the chlorophyll
maximum layer (CML), around 30 to 60 m depth, during a cruise dedicated to the study of …

Microplastic pollution in marine environment has attracted the attention of scientists and
policy makers. A substantial number of studies have examined the microplastic content in …

Spatiotemporal distribution patterns of microplastic (MP) particles in lakes hinge on both the
physical conditions in the lake and particle properties. Using numerical simulations, we …

Pollution is one of the main anthropogenic threats to marine ecosystems. Studies analysing
the accumulation and transfer of contaminants in planktonic food webs tend to rely on …

Large plastic items in the environment are degraded into tiny pieces known as microplastics
(MPs). MP contamination in tropical lagoon ecosystems poses a significant pollution threat …

We present the spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics (MP) in surface waters and
sediments between 2020 and 2022 in the Bay of Marseille. Microplastics were extracted with …

Beach litter, an anthropogenic and hazardous component, can interact with psammophilous
plant species and communities. These are particularly prominent in the Mediterranean …
