Microplastics, as defined here as plastics with a diameter of< 5 mm, can impose severely
detrimental impacts on the environment and can now be commonly found in different water …

The fact that 94% of microplastics (MPs) ubiquitous in the environment are subject to natural
weathering makes the aging study currently a research hotspot. This review summarized the …

Nanoplastics are probably much more dangerous for living organisms than microplastics
because they are more abundant and reactive. They can potentially reach more remote …

Microplastics are ubiquitous and consequently enter drinking water treatment plants.
Knowledge of the microplastic fate in drinking water production is still very limited, although …

We investigated the photoaging of polypropylene (PP) microplastics (MPs) in lake water.
The results showed that photoaging of PP MPs was significantly inhibited in lake water …

The increasing distribution of miniaturized plastic particles, viz. microplastics (100 nm–5
mm) and nanoplastics (less than 100 nm), across the various ecosystems is currently a …

The interaction of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matter
(NOM) has opened new debate, defies and research prospects for the scientists owing to the …

Microplastics, as a group of emerging contaminants, are widely present in environmental
media and have the potential to endanger the ecological environment and human health …

Microplastics (MPs) in natural environment are derived from various discharge processes
and undergo a series of aging that is influenced by different factors. This paper first …

Nanomaterials have gained significant attention as a remarkable class of materials due to
their unique properties and the fact that they encompass a wide range of samples with at …
