Microplastics are small plastic pieces ranging in size from 1μ to< 5 mm in diameter, are
water-soluble, and can be either primary as they are initially created in small sizes or …

Microplastics are emerging as prominent pollutants across the globe. Oceans are becoming
major sinks for these pollutants, and their presence is widespread in coastal regions …

Microplastic (MP), as a pollutant, is currently posing a biological hazard to the aquatic
environment. The study aims to isolate, quantify, and characterize the MP pollutants in …

China plays a key role in global plastic production, consumption and disposal, which
arouses growing concern about microplastics (MPs) contamination in Chinese freshwater …

Abstract Microplastics (MP), ie, particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, are considered
emerging pollutants. The ubiquity of MP is causing great concern among environmental and …

Microplastic pollution has become an emergent global environmental issue because of its
ubiquitous nature and everlasting ecological impacts. In marine ecosystems, microplastics …

Abstract Micro (nano) plastic (MNP) pollutants have not only impacted human health directly,
but are also associated with numerous chemical contaminants that increase toxicity in the …

Most sectors in our society use plastic-based materials from different polymer sources due to
their different properties and wide range of applications. Combined with population growth …

The fragmentation of polyethylene plastics into polyethylene microplastics (PEMPs) due to
biotic and abiotic factors affects the environment. Extensive investigations have shown its …

In recent years, landfill sites have been identified as the major sources of microplastics
(MPs). Since MPs acts as the source and sink for different hazardous compounds and have …
