Microplastics are polymer-based materials with carbon as their main framework. During
degradation, they release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane …

The development of the chemical industry has led to a boom in daily consumption and
convenience, but has also led to the release of large amounts of organic pollutants, such as …

This study focused on the biodegradation of LDPE films using a novel isolate of Bacillus
obtained from soil samples collected from a 20-year-old plastic waste dump. The aim was to …

Micro or nano-plastics (MNPs) are considered as emerging pollutants gradually shifting from
oceanosphere to terrestrial ecosystems. MNPs can enter the human body through the food …

Microplastics (MPs, less than 5 mm in size) are widely distributed in surroundings in various
forms and ways, and threaten ecosystems security and human health. Its environmental …

Microplastics (MPs) are a class of emerging contaminants that have gained significant
attention in recent years. The presence of MPs in the aquatic environment is reported to …

As global microplastic (MP) pollution intensifies, sustainable and effective remediation
methods are gaining interest due to the growing environmental and health implications …
