There have been numerous studies that have identified the presence of low-density
microplastics (MPs) in the water column and sediments. The focus of current MPs research …

Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular
thermoplastic materials that have found such applications are polyethylene (PE) …

Freshwater scarcity and microplastics (MPs) pollution are two concerning and intertwined
global challenges. In this work, we propose a “one stone kills two birds” strategy by …

Marine mammals consume large quantities of microplastic particles, likely via trophic
transfer (ie, through prey who have consumed plastic) and direct consumption from …

Microplastics have been detected from water and soil systems extensively, with increasing
evidence indicating their detrimental impacts on human and animal health. Concerns …

The persistent presence of microplastics in freshwater environments has posed a threat to
the ecological environment and human health. How to remove microplastics from aquatic …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution in the marine environment has become a global problem. In
this study, a number of 21 mollusk species (n= 2006) with different feeding habits were …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial environment, which pose
serious threat to ecosystem and human health. Although many approaches have been …

Microplastics pollution in the oceans has become a new environmental threat in recent
years. Microplastics have been found even in remote polar sea areas, including in water …

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles in a size ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm in diameter,
and are formed by the breakdown of plastics from different sources. They are emerging …
