Plastic microfibre pollution produced by domestic and commercial laundering of synthetic
textiles has recently been incriminated in the press and the scientific literature as the main …

Microplastics, as emerging pollutants, have received great attention in the past few decades
due to its adverse effects on the environment. Microplastics are ubiquitous in the …

Microparticles, such as microplastics and microfibers, are ubiquitous in marine food webs.
Filter-feeding megafauna may be at extreme risk of exposure to microplastics, but neither the …

This work presents preliminary results about abundance, distribution, characteristics,
sources, and fate of microplastics (MPs) in the Central Atlantic Ocean (CAO) of Morocco. The …

Microplastics pollution is progressively threatening natural parks across the world. In the
framework of monitoring this concerning trend, the present study focuses on the occurrence …

The knowledge of microplastic (MP) age could aid the deduction of the origin and fate of a
fragment carried by ocean currents over long time periods and distances. The present study …

Microplastics come directly or indirectly from human activities. The bay and coastal areas
are constantly under pressure from human activities, including tourism, fishing, and …

The ubiquity of microplastics ecosystems has gained global attention. In this context, Latin
America, which is responsible for 8% of the world's consumption of plastic material and has …

A criteria-guided workflow was applied to assess the effectiveness of microplastic separation
methods on complex marine biological matrices. Efficacy of four methods (nitric acid, HNO 3 …

Microplastics in the ocean are threatening marine ecosystems. Although plastic
contaminants are ubiquitous, their distribution is thought to be heterogeneous. Here, we …
