Plastic pollution, particularly non-degradable residual plastic films and microplastics (MPs),
is a serious environmental problem that continues to worsen each year. Numerous studies …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

Microplastics (size of plastic debris< 5 mm) occur in various environments worldwide these
days and cause detrimental effects on biota. However, the behavioral responses of fish to …

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

Plastic pollution is prevalent worldwide and has been highlighted as an issue of global
concern due to its harmful impacts on wildlife. The extent and mechanism by which plastic …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), defined as plastic particles smaller
than 5 mm and 100 nm, respectively, have emerged as significantly hazardous …

Plastics enter the environment and break up into microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics
(NPs) by biotic and abiotic weathering. These small particles are widely distributed in the …
