Microplastics have been identified as an emerging pollutant due to their irrefutable
prevalence in air, soil, and particularly, the aquatic ecosystem. Wastewater treatment plants …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental threats the world is facing
currently. The degradation of macroplastics into smaller forms viz. microplastics (MPs) or …

The effects of microplastic (MP) pollution on organisms are gaining increasing attention. To
date, a variety of polymers of different shapes and sizes are used in ecotoxicology. Although …

As a new pollutant, microplastics (MPs) exhibited more and more significant influence on the
organisms in the environment. Especially, the effects on the growth and development of …

Microplastics (MPs) pose a global threat to marine ecosystems, little is known about the
factors that influence their bioavailability. Microplastics have the ability to adsorb …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

As emerging pollutants, direct and indirect adverse impacts of micro (nano) plastics
(MPs/NPs) are raising an increasing environmental concern in recent years due to their poor …

With the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2),
disposable face masks (DFMs) have caused negative environmental impacts. DFMs will …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in aquatic environments is considered a global
threat to aquatic organisms. Species of the genus Daphnia provide an important link …
