Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are key indicators of the plasticine era,
widely spread across different ecosystems. MPs and NPs become global stressors due to …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastic pollution is a recently discovered threat to ecosystems requiring the
development of new analytical methods. Here, we review classical and advanced methods …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

Increasing production of synthetic plastics and poor management of plastic wastes have
dramatically increased the amount of plastics in the environment. In 2014, at the first United …

Microplastics are an emerging global environmental contaminant that are affecting multiple
spheres. Despite their ubiquity in all spheres of life and ecology, little is known about the …

Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Microplastic (MP) contamination has been well documented across a range of habitats and
for a large number of organisms in the marine environment. Consequently, bioaccumulation …

Although microplastics are known to pervade the global seafloor, the processes that control
their dispersal and concentration in the deep sea remain largely unknown. Here, we show …
