Abstract Microplastics (MP)(< 5 mm) are crucial pollution which are widely distributes in the
environment. Recently, the studies of MP have increased rapidly due to increasing …

Plastic pollution is a persistent challenge worldwide with the first reports evidencing its
impact on the living and nonliving components of the environment dating back more than …

The accumulation of plastic litter in natural environments is a global issue. Concerns over
potential negative impacts on the economy, wildlife, and human health provide strong …

Microplastic pollution is ubiquitous and has emerged as a severe global environmental
issue. Recent research on microplastic pollution has mainly focused on aquatic ecosystems …

So far, the human health impacts of nano-and microplastics are poorly understood. Thus, we
investigated whether nanoplastics exposure induces inflammatory processes in primary …

The mitigation of microplastic pollution in the environment calls for a better understanding of
the sources and transportation, especially from land sources to the open ocean. We …

Background Microplastic pollution has become a serious global environmental threat. The
abundance of microplastics in the air is an order of magnitude higher than that in other …

Microplastic particles have been observed in the environment and routinely detected in the
stomachs and intestines of aquatic organisms over the last 50 yr. In the present review …

Microplastics (MPs) have become a severe concern in marine environment worldwide. Micro-
polystyrene particles have been proved to accumulate in vivo and caused disorders of …

Highlights•Few studies reported on microplastic risk for biota, and no risk assessment has
been carried out for humans.•Current evidence indicates a low risk of microplastics to …
