Microplastics are a pollutant of growing concern, capable of harming aquatic organisms and
entering the food web. While freshwater microplastic research has expanded in recent …

Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity
concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade …

Plastic wastes are produced in a large amount everywhere, and are commonly disposed in
landfills. So landfill leachate seems an obvious source of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate …

Microplastics contamination in the environment is a global problem, but little is known about
their dynamics in urban river networks, an important site of microplastics occurrence and …

The gravity of the impending threats posed by microplastics (MPs) pollution in the
environment cannot be over-emphasized. Several research studies continue to stress how …

Freshwater river systems are commonly defined as the main transport paths of microplastics
(MP) from land into the seas. A shift in research interest from oceans to rivers can be …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants of great concern for the environment. MPs'
presence and concentration in the air, soil, marine, and freshwater environments have been …

Vertical dynamics of microplastics (MPs) in the water column are complex and not fully
understood due to the diversity of environmental MPs and the impact of weathering and …

While microplastics are a pollutant of growing concern in various environmental
compartments, less is known regarding the sources and delivery pathways of microplastics …

The escalating production of synthetic plastics and inadequate waste management have led
to pervasive microplastic (MP) contamination in aquatic ecosystems. MPs, typically defined …
