Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental pollutants,
having a major ecotoxicological concern to humans and many other biotas, especially …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Accumulation of plastic litter exerts pressure on the environment. Microplastics (MPs)
pollution has become a universal challenge due to the overexploitation of plastic products …

Polymers shape human life but they also have been identified as pollutants in the oceans
due to their long lifetime and low degradability. Recently, various researchers have studied …

The prevalence of microplastic debris in aquatic ecosystems as a result of anthropogenic
activity has received worldwide attention. Although extensive research has reported …

Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the
greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across …

In the literature, there is widespread consensus that methods in plastic research need
improvement. Current limitations in quality assurance and harmonization prevent progress …

The presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat not only to
aquatic organisms but also to human beings that consume them. The uptake and effects of …

There is increasing scientific and public concern over the presence of microplastics in the
natural environment. We present the results of a systematic review of the literature to assess …
