Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent
discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation …

Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and
humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are key indicators of the plasticine era,
widely spread across different ecosystems. MPs and NPs become global stressors due to …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Abstract Background and Aim While dietary exposure to microplastics is increasingly
recognized, it is unknown if ingested plastics remain within the digestive tract. We aimed to …

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 …

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 …

Microplastics (MPs) are in all environmental compartments, including atmosphere,
terrestrial, and aquatic environments as well as in marine organisms, foods, drinking water …

Microplastics (plastic< 5 mm in size) are now known to contaminate riverine systems but
understanding about how their concentrations vary spatially and temporally is limited. This …
