Microplastic contamination has become a problem, as plastic production has increased
worldwide. Microplastics are plastics with particles of less than 5 mm and are absorbed …

Plastic debris are dispersed in the marine environment and are consequently available to
many organisms of different trophic levels, including sediment-dwelling organisms such as …

Airborne microplastics (MPs) pollution is an environmental problem of increasing concern,
due to the ubiquity, persistence and potential toxicity of plastics in the atmosphere. In recent …

Wastewater and stormwater are both considered as critical pathways contributing
microplastics (MPs) to the aquatic environment. However, there is little information in the …

In rivers, riverbeds are considered to have dual properties as a short-term sink and a source
of further mobilization for microplastics. To better understand the sources, storage, and fate …

Databases recording the ingestion of microplastics by marine animals are growing. This is
also recurrent on sandy beaches, where different biomonitors have been proposed to …

Although sediments are considered to be a major sink for microplastics (MP), there is still a
relative lack of knowledge on the factors that influence the occurrence and abundance of MP …

Abstract The Okavango Panhandle is the main influent watercourse of the Okavango Delta,
an inland sink of the entire sediment load of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin (CORB) …

Plastic pollution is a global environmental threat. Remote and pristine islands are not safe
from this threat. Here, we estimated beach macro-(> 25 mm), meso-(5–25 mm) and …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) in the Yangtze River have been drawn increasing attention
recently with most merely concentrating on the plain area. This research focuses on the …
