In the past few decades, pollution from microplastics has emerged as an important issue on
a global scale. These plastic particles are mainly the result of anthropogenic activities …

Microplastic (MP) pollution has aroused a tremendous amount of public and scientific
interest worldwide. MPs are found widely ranging from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems …

The degradation of mismanaged plastic waste in the environment results in the formation of
microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), which pose significant risks to ecosystems and …

Plastic pollution and microplastic (MP) debris are some of the most significant solid waste
pollutants, threatening the marine environment and causing sediment accumulation. Coastal …

The growing anthropogenic contamination of natural water by microplastics (MPs) confirms
the urgent need to preserve this precious resource. MPs are part of the group of …

The aim of this study is to investigate for the first time the uptake and ecotoxicological effects
of nanoplastics (NPs) in a marine cnidarian. Ephyrae of the moon jellyfish Aurelia sp. of …

Nanoplastic pollution is poorly known, in particular because research is actually mainly
done using synthetic polymeric nanospheres that are not representative of environmental …

Green and biowaste, processed within large facilities into compost, is a key fertilizer for
agricultural and horticultural soils. However, due to improper waste disposal of plastic, its …

Environmental Sustainability but not limited to marine environments and deepest oceans
(Waller et al. 2017), highest mountains (Zhang et al. 2019) and even polar ice caps (Kelly et …

Microplastic (MiP) contamination poses environmental risks, but harmonizing data from
different quantification methods and sample matrices remains challenging. We compared …
