There have been numerous studies that have identified the presence of low-density
microplastics (MPs) in the water column and sediments. The focus of current MPs research …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in the environment have attracted worldwide attention
due to their wide distribution and difficulty in handling. Aging processes such as UV …

Microplastics are a big and growing part of global pollution, which has aroused increasing
