Background Together with poor biodegradability and insufficient recycling, the massive
production and use of plastics have led to widespread environmental contamination by nano …

The indispensable role of plastic products in our daily life is highlighted by the COVID-19
pandemic again. Disposable face masks, made of polymer materials, as effective and cheap …

Though invertebrates are one of the largest groups of animal species in the sea and exhibit
robust immune and neural responses that are crucial for their health and survival, the …

Marine bivalves living in pollution-prone coastal areas may be simultaneously coexposed to
veterinary antibiotic residuals and microplastics (MPs). However, the synergistic effects of …

Bivalves are important members of the ecosystem and their populations are declining
globally, making them a concern for their role in ecosystem services and the fishing industry …

Microplastics (MPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are universally detected
in the marine ecosystem and may exert adverse impacts on marine species. Although under …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become an important global
environmental issue due to their widespread contamination in the environment. This review …

Gonadal development is a prerequisite for the reproductive success of an organism, and
might be affected by environmental factors such as emergent pollutants. Although marine …

Large plastic litters degrade in the environment to micro-and nanoplastics, which may then
enter the food chain and lead to human exposure by ingestion. The present study explored …

Plastic particles are thought to accumulate in aquatic organisms and cause potential
physiological effects. The uneven sizes of plastic particles may affect the ingestion by marine …
