Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Plastic waste are introduced into the environment inevitably and their exposure in the
environment causes deterioration in mechanical and physicochemical properties and leads …

This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental
(primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and …

Particulate plastic fragments (micro and nano-plastics) in aquatic environments provide
abundant solid substrates, which serve as an important habitat for a variety of …

The plastisphere, which comprises the microbial community on plastic debris, rivals that of
the built environment in spanning multiple biomes on Earth. Although human-derived debris …

Understanding the environmental fate of microplastics is essential for their risk assessment.
It is essential to differentiate size classes and degradation states. Still, insights into …

With the widespread occurrence of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems having been firmly
established, the focus of research has shifted towards the assessments of their influence on …

Current problem facing researchers globally is microplastics as well as toxic chemical
pollution of the ecosystem. Microplastics carry toxic chemicals in the ecosystem serving as a …

Over the last decades, it has become clear that plastic pollution presents a global societal
and environmental challenge given its increasing presence in the oceans. A growing …

In the aquatic environment, microplastic (MP;< 5 mm) is a cause of concern because of its
persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Studies of microlitter impacts are mostly …
