Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent
discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation …

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 …

It is increasingly recognized that the ubiquity of convenient single-use plastic has resulted in
a global plastic pollution challenge, with substantial environmental and health …

Microplastics have recently been detected in atmospheric fallout in Greater Paris. Due to
their small size, they can be inhaled and may induce lesions in the respiratory system …

Plastics are an integral but largely inconspicuous part of daily human routines. The present
review paper uses cross-disciplinary scientific literature to examine and assess the possible …

Abstract Microplastics (of size< 5 mm) pollution in our environment is of current concern by
researchers, public media and non-governmental organizations. Implications by their …

Microplastics are ubiquitous pollutants with a wide range of plastic applications. More
recently, microplastics are in the air and can be inhaled into the lungs, causing respiratory …

Despite of our growing understanding of microplastic's implications, research on the effects
of fibrous microplastic (FMPs) on the environment is still in its infancy. Some scientists have …

Humans are exposed to micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) through various routes, but the
adverse health effects of MNPs on different organ systems are not yet fully understood. This …

Recently, there have been reports that many microplastics are found in the air, which has
raised concerns about their toxicity. To date, however, only limited research has investigated …
