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

Plastic products have gained global popularity due to their lightweight, excellent ductility,
high durability, and portability. However, out of the 8.3 billion tons of plastic waste generated …

The study aimed to address the environmental challenge posed by polystyrene nanoplastics
(PS-NPs), which are widespread and resistant to conventional degradation methods. In …

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) have been increasingly found in environments, food, and
organisms, arousing wide public concerns. MNPs may enter food chains through water …

ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic
environment and have caused widespread concerns globally due to their potential hazards …

Microplastics (MPs) composed of different polymers with various shapes, within a vast
granulometric distribution (1 μm-5 mm) and with a wide variety of physicochemical surface …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as hotspots for the spread of
micro (nano) plastics (MPs/NPs) in water. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have …

Microplastics (MPs) that accumulate in natural water bodies through various pathways
inevitably undergo aging and biofilm attachment. These variations can alter the …

The presence of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics (MPs) in waters has posed
considerable threats to the environment and humans. In this work, a heterogeneous electro …

Biodegradable microplastics (MPs) are promising alternatives to conventional MPs and are
of high global concern. However, their discrepant effects on soil microorganisms and …
