Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …

Quantification of four toxic metals (As, Cr, Cd, and Pb) in water and sediments at the
Sitakunda ship breaking area in Bangladesh was studied. Along with this, sediment quality …

To assess the contamination and ecological risk assessment of the Shalateen coastal
sediments, Red Sea, Egypt, 35 samples were collected to analyze Cu, Sr, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe …

This study assesses the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in coastal and sea surface
sediments, as well as water samples, collected from the coastal region of the southern …

In this study, water of the channels and ponds that conduct residual water in two most
important cities of Saudi Arabia were assessed to ascertain the influence of the population …

The level of heavy metals (HMs) in coastal sediments has attracted the environmental
researchers due to their persistence, abundance, biomagnification and toxicity. The present …

We investigated the influence of seagrass canopies on the benthic biodiversity of bacteria
and macroinvertebrates in a Red Sea tropical lagoon. Changes in abundance, number of …

Plastic pollution is now a worldwide phenomenon affecting all marine ecosystems, but some
ecosystems and regions remain understudied. Here, we review the presence and impacts of …

This study marked the first exploration of microplastics in marine invertebrates in the Red
Sea Coast of Egypt. 110 individuals from 11 different species, including Bivalvia …
