Although most plastic pollution originates on land, current research largely remains focused
on aquatic ecosystems. Studies pioneering terrestrial microplastic research have adapted …

Microplastics are sub-millimeter-sized fragments of plastics and a relatively new class of
pollutant increasingly found in the environment. Due to their size and surface area to volume …

Microplastic contamination has become a problem, as plastic production has increased
worldwide. Microplastics are plastics with particles of less than 5 mm and are absorbed …

Microplastics residence times in lakes are currently poorly understood. In this work, settling
experiments with pristine and biofilm‐colonized microplastic particles were combined with …

The microplastic residence time in lakes is a key factor controlling its uptake by lake
organisms. In this work we have, for the first time, conducted a series of microplastic addition …

微塑料作为目前被广泛关注的新污染物之一, 近年来在世界各地水环境中被频繁检出.
微塑料不仅具有体积小, 难降解, 持久性等特点, 而且可作为有毒金属, 微生物 …

The increasing accumulation of persistent nondegradable microplastics in the marine
environment represents a global environmental problem. Among emerging approaches to …

Microplastics analysis in solid environmental samples like sediments and soils requires
complex preparation steps to eliminate interfering matrix components. This is often …

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a promising candidate for low-cost, nondestructive, and
high-throughput mass quantification of microplastics in environmental samples. Widespread …

Plastics are synthetic materials made from organic polymers that are ubiquitous in daily
living and are especially important in the healthcare setting. However, recent advances have …
