Climate change and extreme weather events (such as droughts, heatwaves, rainstorms and
floods) pose serious challenges for water management, in terms of both water resources …

Karst regions, due to their unique topography, may be more susceptible to contaminants
such as microplastics from other ecosystems. However, few studies reported the occurrence …

Microplastics are ubiquitously in various environments from the equator to the poles. Coastal
agglomerations act as both a source and sink connecting the global microplastic cycles of …

Microplastics are ubiquitous and affect all environments, including rivers. In recent years the
number of studies about microplastics in rivers has strongly increased. But still many …

Dam reservoirs can strongly influence the spatial distribution of sediment pollution by
microplastics (MP). The Villerest reservoir (Loire River, 36 km long) is a good candidate to …

Microplastics contaminating the water supply system qualifies as a disaster. This has major
far-reaching implications, posing significant threats to economic growth and human …

Interactions between microbes and microplastics are important as of emerging plastic loads
in the global environment. Although diverse plastic additives are used in large amounts …

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging pollutant and a worldwide issue. A wide variety of MPs
and tyre wear particles (TWPs) are entering and spreading in the environment. TWPs can …

Abstract Microplastics (plastics< 5 mm) are emerging contaminants that have been detected
in virtually all environments. While microplastic research in terrestrial surface waters has …

Microplastics (MPs) are inevitably oxidized in the environment, and their potential toxicity to
organisms has attracted wide attention. However, the neurotoxicity and mechanism of …
