Marine plastic waste pollution is one of the most urgent global marine environmental
problems worldwide. It has attracted worldwide attention from governments, the public, the …

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 …

Plastic waste are introduced into the environment inevitably and their exposure in the
environment causes deterioration in mechanical and physicochemical properties and leads …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

The pervasive dispersion of micro/nanoplastics in various environmental matrices has
raised concerns regarding their potential intrusion into terrestrial ecosystems and, notably …

Industrial progress has brought us an important polymer material, ie plastic. Because of
mass production and use, and improper management and disposal, plastic pollution has …

We described in 2017 how weathering plastic litter in the marine environment fulfils two of
three criteria to impose a planetary boundary threat related to “chemical pollution and the …

Plastics enter the environment and break up into microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics
(NPs) by biotic and abiotic weathering. These small particles are widely distributed in the …

With the wide application of plastics in daily life, nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in
freshwater environments. However, to date, few studies have focused on the mechanism …

The presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat not only to
aquatic organisms but also to human beings that consume them. The uptake and effects of …
