Background Together with poor biodegradability and insufficient recycling, the massive
production and use of plastics have led to widespread environmental contamination by nano …

Nanoplastics are emerging contaminants of concern for living organisms and ecosystems,
yet nanoplastics are difficult to extract and analyse. Once released into the environment, the …

This review summarises the current knowledge on the effects of microplastics and their
additives on organisms living in the aquatic environment, particularly invertebrates and fish …

The ubiquity and detrimental effects of plastics in the environment have become global
environmental concerns over the past decade. Intensive anthropogenic activities, such as …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination is becoming a significant environmental issue, as the
widespread omnipresence of MPs can cause many adverse consequences for both …

The rise in the global production of plastics has led to severe concerns about the impacts of
plastics in aquatic environments. Although plastic materials degrade over extreme long …

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs and NPs, respectively) are major contaminants of
environmental concern due to their potentially detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial …

The production of plastic has dramatically increased in the last 50 y. Because of their
stability and durability, plastics are ubiquitously incorporated in both marine and terrestrial …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are among the most widely distributed pollutants in the
environment. It has been suggested that exposure to MPs/NPs can trigger toxicity pathways …

Abstract Nanoplastics (NP)(1–100 nm) are a growing global concern, and their adverse
effects in marine organisms are still scarce. This study evaluated the effects of polystyrene …
