With increase in population, waste management is becoming a major issue, further recent
studies also highlighted another serious issue of marine litter. It was observed that the …

The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have long been recognized as a potentially
significant source of microplastic (MPs) pollution in aquatic environments. It is challenging to …

Microplastics (MPs), tiny particles broken down from larger pieces of plastics, have
accumulated everywhere on the earth. As an inert carbon stream in aquatic environment …

Abundance, chemical composition and ecological risk of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial
and marine environments have merited substantial attention from the research communities …

Microplastics have been reported from various ecosystems including lakes, ponds,
wetlands, mountains, and forests globally. Recent research works showed microplastic …

Microplastics are plastic pieces< 5 mm in size that are more harmful than large plastic
debris. The world's oceans contain large amounts of these particles, and their presence is …

The ever-increasing presence of microplastics in many environmental components has
been a cause of worry for humanity due to their small size and potential health risk. Since …

In this study, we assess the magnitude, type, and sources of microplastic (MP) in lake bottom
sediments collected from freshwater Anchar Lake, located in the Kashmir Valley, Northwest …

Recently, efforts to determine the ecological impacts of microplastic pollutants have
increased because of plastic's accelerated contamination of the environment. The tiny size …

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