Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments increased strongly during the
last decade. Environmental monitoring studies detected microplastic items in every tested …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has received increased attention over the last few years.
However, while the number of studies documentating the ingestion of microplastics by fish …

This review quantifies plastic interaction in marine biota. Firstly, entanglement and ingestion
records for all marine birds, mammals, turtles, fish, and invertebrate species, are …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Microplastics (MPs) in everyday consumer products have paved the way for high MPs
concentrations in wastewater. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) s are the significant …

Background: Microplastics (MPs) have contaminated all compartments of the marine
environment including biota such as seafood; ingestion from such sources is one of the two …

Microplastics are the major environmental health hazards spotted in almost all the marine
habitats and biota of world. The earlier research on microplastics have mainly focused on …

The amount of plastic waste and microplastics released into marine environments has
increased rapidly in recent decades. The durability of plastic materials results in major …

Plastic pollution is a fast-rising environmental catastrophe. Microplastics and nanoplastics
(MNPs) are ubiquitous components of most aquatic environments, and their burgeoning …
