In recent years, increasing studies have been reported on characterization and detection of
microplastics (MPs), and their interactions with organic pollutants (OPs) and heavy metals …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) pervade both the environment and the
food chain, originating from the degradation of plastic materials from various sources. Their …

Infants are characterized by an immaturity of the gut ecosystem and a high exposure to
microplastics (MPs) through diet, dust and suckling. However, the bidirectional interactions …

Microplastics (MPs) that accumulate in natural water bodies through various pathways
inevitably undergo aging and biofilm attachment. These variations can alter the …

Background Currently, society and industry generate huge amounts of plastics worldwide.
The ubiquity of microplastics is obvious, but its impact on the animal and human organism …

Microplastic and nanoplastic (MNP) pollution has become a major global food safety
concern. MNPs can interact with food matrices, and their passage through the …

Plastics as emerging contaminants have been heavily accumulated in organic wastes (eg
waste activated sludge and food waste), which have a dramatically different impact on the …

The prevalence of microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in natural environments presents a
formidable global environmental threat MPs can be found from the Arctic to Antarctica …

In recent years, nanoplastics (NPs) and triclosan (TCS, a pharmaceutical and personal care
product) have emerged as environmental pollution issues, and their combined presence has …

Plastics are present in almost every aspect of our lives. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is
commonly used in the food industry. Microparticles can contaminate food and drinks, posing …
