Microplastics (MPs), as an entirely anthropogenic type of pollution, are considered to be
stratigraphic markers of the Anthropocene Epoch, and have become of increasing public …

Over the past decade, the number of studies examining the presence and effects of
microplastics in the environment has drastically increased. Works seeking to identify these …

Reported here is the first study to investigate the adsorption of pharmaceutical drugs to
microplastics in wastewater. Wastewater is an environmental source of microplastics and …

Coastal environments are heavily influenced by human activities. Chemical substances
considered as emerging contaminants (ECs) are one of the most important indicators of the …

Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm in size) are a grave environmental concern. They are a
ubiquitous persistent pollutant group that has reached into all parts of the environment …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are one of the most abundant environment-threatening nanomaterials
on the market. The objective of this study was to determine in vitro if functionalized NPs are …

Pharmaceuticals can be adsorbed by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the
aquatic environment. The interaction between these emerging pollutants can induce several …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) have been found to occur intensively in aquatic
environments, along with other conventional pollutants (Po) such as heavy metals …

Microplastic research constitutes nowadays a very interesting and challenging research field
since more and more studies are showing that plastic particles are present in every …

Marine environments receive plastic waste, where it suffers a transformation process into
smaller particles. Among them, microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) are ingested by aquatic …
