The excellent properties of plastics make them widely used all over the world. However,
when plastics enter the environmental medium, microplastics will inevitably be produced …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microplastics in the environment are of great public
concern due to their potential risk to human health. Microplastics can form distinct bacterial …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is of great environmental concern. MPs have been found all over
the Earth, including in the poles, which is indicative for the important threat they constitute …

Plastics in the environment provide a new and unique habitat for microorganisms-known as
the plastisphere. The microbial succession within the plastisphere and their potentials for …

Microplastic pollution and associated impacts in the aquatic environment are spreading at
an alarming rate worldwide. Plastic waste is increasing in the environment, and …

Microplastics (MPs) are substrates available for biofilms colonization in natural water
environments. The biofilms formation may enhance the ability of MPs to adsorb harmful …

Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in atmosphere, soil, and water and have been
characterized as contaminants of emerging concern. When exposed to these environments …

This study investigates microplastic (MPs) dynamics of a recently established surface flow
2100 population equivalent polishing constructed wetland (CW) receiving 1.4 ML per day of …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination is becoming a significant environmental issue, as the
widespread omnipresence of MPs can cause many adverse consequences for both …

Microplastics in wastewater are colonized by biofilms containing pathogens and
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes that can be exported into receiving water bodies. This …
