The development and applications of effective analytical techniques for identification and
quantification of microplastics in diverse spheres are increasing in the scientific arena. Nile …

Micro and nanoplastics are fragments with dimensions less than a millimeter invading all
terrestrial and marine environments. They have become a major global environmental issue …

Polymers have been widely applied in various fields in the daily routines and the
manufacturing. Despite the awareness of the aggressive and inevitable aging for the …

Plastic particle pollution has been shown to be almost completely ubiquitous within our
surrounding environment. This ubiquity in combination with a variety of unique properties …

Microplastic pollution is an issue of concern due to the accumulation rates in the marine
environment combined with the limited knowledge about their abundance, distribution and …

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

Studies on airborne microplastics (AMPs) have reported higher abundance of AMPs in
indoor air compared to outdoors. Most people spend more time indoors compared to …

Abstract Microplastics are small (< 5 mm) synthetic polymers that are a contaminant of
emerging concern and can be difficult to identify due to their diversity in size, shape and …

Quantification and identification of microplastics (MPs)(plastics< 5 mm) remain challenging
due to the current laborious, inconsistent, and time-intensive measurement techniques. A …

Understanding the fate and toxicity of microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm plastic particles) is limited
by quantification methods. This paper summarizes the methods in use and presents new …
