Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human
activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of …

The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Literature regarding microplastics in the atmosphere has advanced in recent years.
However, studies have been undertaken in isolation with minimal collaboration and …

Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) are categorized as emerging persistent pollutants that
occur widely in various ecosystems. However, their impacts on terrestrial plants (particularly …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

Microplastics are now recognized as widespread contaminants in the atmosphere, where,
due to their small size and low density, they can be transported with winds around the …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental and social issues of the 21st
century. Recent work has highlighted the atmosphere's role in transporting microplastics to …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …
