Literature regarding microplastics in the atmosphere has advanced in recent years.
However, studies have been undertaken in isolation with minimal collaboration and …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Microplastic pollution is occurring in most ecosystem, yet their presence in high altitude
clouds and their influence on cloud formation and climate change are poorly known. Here …

Plastics enter the environment and break up into microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics
(NPs) by biotic and abiotic weathering. These small particles are widely distributed in the …

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

Few studies report the occurrence of microplastics (MP), including tire wear particles (TWP)
in the marine atmosphere, and little data is available regarding their size or sources. Here …

Global microplastic (MP) pollution is a serious environmental problem that has been found
in various ecosystems, especially marine ecosystems. In this study, the water (surface …

Atmospheric microplastics have been widely reported in studies around the world.
Microfibres are often the dominant morphology found by researchers, although synthetic (ie …

Coastal zones experience various wind events that may influence the characteristics,
distribution, and dynamics of atmospheric microplastic pollutants. In the present study, we …
