Contamination of waters and soils with microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental
issue worldwide. MPs constitute a cocktail of various additives and polymers besides …

Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread
distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in …

Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants of growing concern. These
have been found in multiple environmental compartments, including remote sites where …

The ubiquitous prevalence of microplastics pollution has raised concerns about
microplastics' potential risks and impacts on the global environment. However, the potential …

Historically, many additives and catalysts used in plastics were based on compounds of
toxic metals (and metalloids), like arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), and lead. Despite …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

The management of post-consumer discarded plastic wastes (PCPW) creates new
challenges in developing countries due to the lack of amenities, technological interventions …

Plastic is one of the most commonly produced and used materials in the world due to its
outstanding features. However, the worldwide use of plastics and poor waste management …

Recently, efforts to determine the ecological impacts of microplastic pollutants have
increased because of plastic's accelerated contamination of the environment. The tiny size …
