Nowadays, global environmental pollution is one of the most topical issues we have to deal
with on a daily basis. Due to the development of the current society including industrial and …

As a consequence of the global ubiquity of plastic pollution, scientists, decision‐makers, and
the public often ask whether macroplastics (> 5 mm) and microplastics (< 5 mm) have a …

Plastic debris in the global biosphere is an increasing concern, and nanoplastic (NPs)
toxicity in humans is far from being understood. Studies have indicated that NPs can affect …

With the widespread occurrence of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems having been firmly
established, the focus of research has shifted towards the assessments of their influence on …

This research takes a holistic approach to considering the consequences of marine plastic
pollution. A semi-systematic literature review of 1191 data points provides the basis to …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. However, the
understanding of their ecological effects on terrestrial plants is still limited. We conducted the …

Background: Pollution–unwanted waste released to air, water, and land by human activity–is
the largest environmental cause of disease in the world today. It is responsible for an …

Microplastics are tiny ubiquitous plastic particles present in marine environments. They are
not an individual entity, but constitute a cocktail of polymers and additives that can absorb …

Global plastic production has increased exponentially since manufacturing commenced in
the 1950's, including polymer types infused with diverse additives and fillers. While the …

Plastic pollution has been well documented in natural environments, including the open
waters and sediments within lakes and rivers, the open ocean and even the air, but less …
