The widespread distribution of plastics, their persistence and ability to act as a vector of toxic
chemicals has rendered them concerning emergent pollutants. The quantification of these …

In this study, we assess the magnitude, type, and sources of microplastic (MP) in lake bottom
sediments collected from freshwater Anchar Lake, located in the Kashmir Valley, Northwest …

Methods standardisation in microplastics research is needed. Apart from reagent-dependent
effects on microplastics, varying target particle sizes can hinder result comparison between …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging toxicants which have been detected in varying
environments. Despite MPs adverse effects, reports on MPs detection from human clinical …

Loggerhead sea turtle (C. caretta) is the official European bioindicator of marine litter in the
Mediterranean Sea. In 2019, 8 sea turtles, out of 28 specimens loggerhead on the Adriatic …

Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in the water column of several aquatic ecosystems.
Thus, the sampling methodology is considered as a basic factor influencing MPs …

Given current concerns regarding the extent of microplastic contamination in the
environment, routine monitoring for microplastics in biological tissues is becoming …

For commonly applied microplastic sampling approaches based on filtration, high
throughput and no size-discrimination are conflicting goals. Therefore, we propose two …

Identification and quantification of microplastics (MP) in environmental samples is crucial for
understanding the risk and distribution of MP in the environment. Currently, quantification of …

The present study was carried out to determine the characteristics, distribution, and
abundance of plastic debris in 25 sediment samples collected from the Poompuhar beach …
