Several epidemiologic and toxicological studies have commonly viewed ambient fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5), defined as particles having an aerodynamic diameter of less …

Air pollution causes the largest death toll among environmental risks globally, but
interventions to purify ambient air remain inadequate. Vegetation and green spaces have …

The ubiquity of microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm, including nanosized plastics< 1 µm) in
the global biosphere raises increasing concerns about their implications for human health (1 …

Accumulation of plastic litter exerts pressure on the environment. Microplastics (MPs)
