Microplastics have recently been detected in atmospheric fallout in Greater Paris. Due to
their small size, they can be inhaled and may induce lesions in the respiratory system …

Microplastics are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all environmental
compartments. However, knowledge on sources, fate and environmental concentration over …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has received increased attention over the last few years.
However, while the number of studies documentating the ingestion of microplastics by fish …

Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …

Despite growing plastic discharge into the environment, researchers have struggled to
detect expected increases of marine plastic debris in sea surfaces, sparking discussions …

Microplastics (particles with a size< 5 mm), one of the most emerging aquatic pollutants, are
of particular concern since they can reach high densities and interact with biotic and abiotic …

Microplastics are plastics that measure less than 5 mm in diameter. They enter the marine
environment as primary sources directly from industrial uses, as well as secondary sources …

A new and more alarming source of marine contamination has been recently identified in
micro and nanosized plastic fragments. Microplastics are difficult to see with the naked eye …

The ubiquity of plastic materials in the environment has been, for long, a matter of
discussion. Smaller particles, named microplastics (< 5 mm), gained attention more recently …
