It is widely known that microplastics are present everywhere and they pose certain risks to
the ecosystem and humans which are partly attributed to the leaching of additives and …

The abundant plastic wastes become an imperative global issue, and how to handle these
organic wastes gains growing scientific and industrial interest. Recently, converting plastic …

The rapid expansion of plastic manufacturing industries in last several decades has brought
serious concerns over the environmental impacts of plastic wastes. Recent outbreak of …

There has been a considerable increase in the use of face masks in the past years.
Managing face mask waste has become a global concern, as the current waste …

Microplastics (MPs) are a type of contaminants produced during the use and disposal of
plastic products, which are ubiquitous in our lives. With the high specific surface area and …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous and intractable in urban
waters. Compared with MPs, the smaller NPs have shown distinct physicochemical features …

Microcystins are highly toxic cyanotoxins and have been produced worldwide with the
global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HABs), posing serious threats to human …

Plastic pollution has been the focus of attention in recent years, with research on micro-&
nano-plastics increasing exponentially. Nevertheless, several challenges associated with …

Direct and indirect photolysis are important abiotic processes in aquatic environments
through which plastics can be transformed physically and chemically. Transport of …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are a growing threat to environmental health as
these particles are dispersed to remote locations. However, the migration process of NPs …
