Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and low price, plastic has replaced part
of the use of stone, wood and metal. The inability to degrade and improper handling have …

The presence of microplastics within the gut of animals is well documented. Whether
microplastics bioaccumulate in organisms and biomagnify in food webs remains unclear …

On account of environmental concerns, the fate and adverse effects of plastics have
attracted considerable interest in the past few years. Recent studies have indicated the …

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern due to its omnipresence and
degradation to smaller particles. The potential toxicological effects of micro-and nanoplastic …

Civilization development is associated with the use of plastic. When plastic was introduced
to the market, it was assumed that it was less toxic than glass. Recently, it is known that …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have received global concern due to its
widespread contamination, ingestion in aquatic organisms and the ability to cross the …

Microplastics (MPs) are fragments, fibers, granules, flakes and spheres with a diameter or
length of less than 5 mm. These may eventually end up in the aquatic environment by the …

As a widespread and ubiquitous pollutant of marine ecosystems, microplastic has the
potential to become an emerging global threat for aquatic organisms. The present study …

Plastic pollution is a critical environmental concern and comprises the majority of
anthropogenic debris in the ocean, including macro, micro, and likely nanoscale (less than …
