community of scientists working on the environmental health and safety of nanomaterials …

Extensive and improper utilization of water from industrial, municipal, and agricultural
activities generate 380 trillion L/y of wastewater worldwide. Wastewaters from different …

Plastic litter is widely acknowledged as a global environmental threat, and poor
management and disposal lead to increasing levels in the environment. Of recent concern is …

The tremendous increases in production of plastic materials has led to an accumulation of
plastic pollution worldwide. Many studies have addressed the physical effects of large-sized …

The EFSA has updated the Guidance on risk assessment of the application of nanoscience
and nanotechnologies in the food and feed chain, human and animal health. It covers the …

The present review covers developments in studies of nanomaterials (NMs) in the
environment since our much cited review in 2008. We discuss novel insights into fate and …

Fragmentation of plastic debris and the commercial use of plastic microbeads have led to
the widespread distribution of microplastics in natural environments. Several studies have …

Abstract While microplastics (1 μm–5 mm) contamination is creating public concern,
nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) might create even more serious environmental contamination …
