Microplastics (MPs) contamination of soil and aquatic ecosystems has become a serious
concern over the last decade. Due to their small size and physical and chemical …

In-channel vegetation is ubiquitous in aquatic environments and plays a critical role in the
fate and transport of solutes and particles in aquatic ecosystems. Recent studies have …

The quantification of microplastic (MP) pollution in rivers is often constrained by a lack of
historical data on a multi-decadal scale, which hinders the evaluation of public policies. In …

Pollution by microplastics (MPs) in mangroves is a growing concern, given its potential
ecological and human health impacts. The characteristics of microplastic pollution and a risk …

Previous studies on microplastics (MPs) distribution have predominantly focused on water
bodies within specific regions, with limited emphasis on the contributions of MPs directly …

Microplastics are small plastic materials often defined as those between 5 mm and 0.05 mm
in size. Microplastics can have toxicological impacts on various biota, from gut blockages to …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants with urban landscapes as
major source areas of MPs and stormwater runoff as an important transport pathway to …

The degradation from larger plastic to tiny pieces permits its extensive allocation in different
trophic levels and readily persists in the aquatic marshy food web. This first baseline …

Microplastics (MPs) are a growing environmental issue because of their widespread
prevalence and their long-term effects on ecosystems and human health. Global studies …

Until recently, plastic pollution research was focused on the marine environments, and
attention was given to terrestrial and freshwater environments latter. This discussion paper …
