Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastic is an emerging contaminant of concern in soil globally due to its widespread
and potential risks on the ecological system. Some basic issues such as the occurrence …

Plastic particles are ubiquitous pollutants in the living environment and food chain but no
study to date has reported on the internal exposure of plastic particles in human blood. This …

There is a rising concern regarding the accumulation of microplastics in the aquatic
ecosystems. However, compared to the marine environment, the occurrence, transport, and …

Abstract Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) are gaining high attention worldwide as an emerging
environmental contaminant because they are easier to be taken up by organisms and likely …

Microplastics are a widespread contaminant found not only in various natural habitats but
also in drinking waters. With spectroscopic methods, the polymer type, number, size, and …

Despite a substantial body of research to date for the detection of microplastics (MPs) in
almost every environmental compartment there remains a lack of standardisation, and …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Raman spectroscopy is gaining ground in the analysis of microplastics, especially due to its
high spatial resolution that allows the investigation of small plastic particles, whose numeric …

Microplastics are emerging pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial environments. In the last
years, several case studies and reviews have been published about microplastics in …
