Plastic production on a global scale is instrumental in advancing modern society. However,
plastic can be broken down by mechanical and chemical forces of humans and nature, and …

Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) have been evidenced to be universal in a variety of environmental
media. They pose a potential cytotoxicity and health risk due to their tiny size, which allows …

Plastics play an indispensable role in our daily lives, owing to their ease in use, low cost,
strength, versatility and durability but their excessive usage in packaging industries …

The level of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been well
evaluated by the particle number, while the mass concentration of MPs and especially …

Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants, but their presence in
environmental and potable water remains largely understudied due to the absence of …

Bioplastics are materials that are biobased and/or biodegradable, but not necessarily both.
Concerns about environmental plastic pollution are constantly growing with increasing …

Nanoplastics (NPs) have become an emerging pollutant that has attracted much attention.
As plants are the major food sources, it will be of great use to investigate NPs in plants. The …

Microplastics (MPs) exists widely in the environment, and the resulting pollution of MPs has
become a global environmental problem. Plants can absorb MPs through their roots …

Determination of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs), especially small MPs and NPs (<
150 μm), in solid environmental matrices is a challenging task due to the formation of stable …

Plastic fibers are ubiquitous in daily life with additives incorporated to improve their
performance. Only a few restrictions exist for a paucity of common additives, while most of …
