Microplastics are contaminants of emerging concern that have been widely detected in
aquatic environments over the past decades. While in recent years an increasing number of …

Plastic is one of the most commonly produced and used materials in the world due to its
outstanding features. However, the worldwide use of plastics and poor waste management …

Although we are witnesses of an increase in the number of studies examining the
exposure/effects of microplastics (MPs) on different organisms, there are many unknowns …

Plastic has created a new man-made ecosystem called plastisphere. The plastic pieces
including microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have emerged as a global concern …

Microplastics have been reported in environmental media for decades, but gaps in our
knowledge about them still remain. We investigated the third biggest freshwater lake in …

We assessed the concentrations of microplastics in sediment samples collected in seven
sites from Solimões, Negro and Amazon rivers, upstream and downstream the metropolitan …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in aquatic sediment represents an anthropogenic
stressor on benthic organisms and elemental cycling. However, a comprehensive …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination is an existing and concerning environmental issue.
Plastic particles have been observed worldwide in every natural matrix, with water …

Microplastic (MP) pollution in global sediment has been intensely studied and recognized as
the ultimate sink for residual MPs in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. During MP long-term …
