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

Plastics are a ubiquitous class of synthetic polymer materials used in virtually all commercial
and industrial sectors. The majority of global plastics consists of polymers with carbon …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that act as a carrier of toxic pollutants, release
toxic substances, and aggregate in biota. The adsorption behavior of MPs has recently …

Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

Microplastics pollution is major threat to ecosystems and is impacting abiotic and biotic
components. Microplastics are diverse and highly complex contaminants that transport other …

Twenty years after the first publication that used the term microplastic, we review current
understanding, refine definitions, and consider future prospects. Microplastics arise from …

Identifying and understanding the potential sources delivering microplastics into the urban
water environment is imperative for microplastic pollution control. However, how …

Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in
about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are emerging global pollutants that garnered
enormous attention due to their potential threat to the ecosystem in virtue of their persistence …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are an important route for microplastics to enter
aquatic environments. Microplastics have been recently identified in sewage samples in …
