Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants of growing concern. These
have been found in multiple environmental compartments, including remote sites where …

Microplastic pollution has attracted significant attention as an emerging global
environmental problem. One of the most important issues with microplastics is the leaching …

Microplastics (MPs) are contaminants of emerging concern that have gained considerable
attention during the last few decades due to their adverse impact on living organisms and …

Occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has attracted great attention as it has
become a global concern. This review aims to systematically demonstrate the role of marine …

Sources of exposure to per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) include food, water,
and, given that humans spend typically 90% of their time indoors, air and dust. Quantifying …

In recent years, interest in the environmental occurrence and effects of microplastics (MPs)
has shifted towards our inland waters, and in this chapter we provide an overview of the …

While the global distribution of microplastics (MP) in the marine environment is currently
being critically evaluated, the potential role of MP as a vector for distinct microbial …

The presence of microplastic and carbon-based nanoparticles in the environment may have
implications for the fate and effects of traditional hydrophobic chemicals. Here we present …

This review discusses the mechanisms of generation and potential impacts of microplastics
in the ocean environment. Weathering degradation of plastics on the beaches results in their …

The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in the ocean is an emerging world-wide concern. Due
to high sorption capacity of plastics for hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs), sorption may …
