Microplastics are tiny ubiquitous plastic particles present in marine environments. They are
not an individual entity, but constitute a cocktail of polymers and additives that can absorb …

The presence of microplastics in the marine environment poses a great threat to the entire
ecosystem and has received much attention lately as the presence has greatly impacted …

Interest in the biodegradation of microplastics is due to their ubiquitous distribution,
availability, high persistence in the environment and deleterious impact on marine biota. The …

The nature of micro-and nanoplastics and their harmful consequences has drawn significant
attention in recent years in the context of environmental protection. Therefore, this paper …

Microplastic pollution is a prevalent and serious problem in marine environments. These
particles have a detrimental impact on marine ecosystems. They are harmful to marine …

Threats emerging from microplastic pollution in the marine environment have received much
