With the increasing use of plastics, nano-and micro-plastic (NMP) pollution has become a
hot topic in the scientific community. Ubiquitous NMPs, as emerging contaminants, are …

The international community is becoming increasingly aware of the threats posed by
contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) for ecological security. Aquatic life ambient water …

Particles from the tread of vehicle tyres are a global pollutant, which are emitted into the
environment at an approximate rate of 1.4 kg. year− 1 for an average passenger-car. In this …

While global attention has been primarily focused on the occurrence and persistence of
microplastics (MP) in urban lakes, relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of …

Microplastics, as global emerging pollutants, have received significant attention worldwide
due to their ubiquitous presence in the rivers. However, there is still a lack of clarity on the …

Microplastics (MPs) can enter aquatic food webs through direct ingestion from the
environment or indirectly via trophic transfer, but their fate and biological effects within local …

Assessing the ecological risks of microplastics is difficult because of the limited availability of
reliable ecotoxicity data. Although freshwater is a valuable sink for microplastics, the current …

The environmental hazards of microplastics have raised concerns about their potential
ecological risks. However, our understanding of the true risks may be limited because most …

Owing to their ubiquitous nature, microplastics are a major environmental concern. This
study reviewed the toxicity data of microplastics in marine water, and analyzed their species …

This study successionally monitored how nano-and micro-sized polystyrene beads (MNPs)
influence larval mortality, growth, and attachment behavior of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea …
