Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

The presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat not only to
aquatic organisms but also to human beings that consume them. The uptake and effects of …

Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the
greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across …

As two pollutants with similar transport pathways, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics (ATs)
inevitably co-exist in water environments, and their interaction has become a topic of intense …

Microplastics in seafood are an emerging area of seafood safety concern. In this study, we
investigated the presence of microplastics (100 μm–5 mm) in the edible tissues of four …

The abundance and distribution of microplastic (< 5 mm) has become a growing concern,
particularly over the past decade. Research to date has focused on water, soil, and …

Plastic pollution is a fast-rising environmental catastrophe. Microplastics and nanoplastics
(MNPs) are ubiquitous components of most aquatic environments, and their burgeoning …

Crabs are an indispensable component of the benthic ecosystem and represent a type of
seafood that is easily obtained and frequently eaten by humans. However, little is known …

Excessive exploitation, negligence, non-degradable nature, and physical and chemical
properties of plastic waste have resulted in a massive pollution load into the environment …

Polymer composites are widely used modern-day materials, specially designed to combine
good mechanical properties and low density, resulting in a high tensile strength-to-weight …
