The ubiquitous use of microplastics and their release into the environment especially the
water bodies by anthropogenic/industrial activities are the major resources for microplastic …

Microplastic had been commonly used in personal care products (PCPs) until it was
documented to be a pollutant. The relative contents of microplastics in PCPs decrease in the …

Satellites collecting optical data offer a unique perspective from which to observe the
problem of plastic litter in the marine environment, but few studies have successfully …

Microplastic pollution within the marine environment is of pressing concern globally.
Accordingly, spatial monitoring of microplastic concentrations, composition and size …

Global warming has driven a loss of dissolved oxygen in the ocean in recent decades. We
demonstrate the potential for an additional anthropogenic driver of deoxygenation, in which …

Plastic litter floating in the ocean is a significant problem on a global scale. This study
examines whether Sentinel-2 satellite images can be used to identify plastic litter on the sea …

In contrast to marine ecosystems, the toxicity impact of microplastics in freshwater
environments is poorly understood. This contribution reviews the literature on the range of …

The source, distribution, migration, and fate of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems have received much attention. However, the relevant reports in wetland …

Buoyant microplastic pollution disperses widely from sources via strong wind-driven water
currents in lakes and oceans. This ability for dispersal depends critically upon the particle's …

Inland waters are the main medium transporting microplastics to the ocean. Aggregation,
vertical settlement, and horizontal transport will occur when microplastics enter the inland …
