Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

While versatile application of plastics has generated huge benefits in our life, the 'plastic end-
of-life'comes with downsides of emerging concern is plastic particles within all parts of …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental pollutants,
having a major ecotoxicological concern to humans and many other biotas, especially …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are key indicators of the plasticine era,
widely spread across different ecosystems. MPs and NPs become global stressors due to …

Microplastics has become a global concern due to their ubiquitous presence which poses
unavoidable human exposure risks. Geographical distribution and yearly trends of research …

Background Microplastics (MP) are plastic particles with dimension up to 5 mm. Due to their
persistence, global spread across different ecosystems and potential human health effects …

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found in various
environmental media, including soil, water, and air, and have infiltrated the food chain …

Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little
is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and …

The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

Recently, studies on microplastics (MPs) have increased rapidly due to the growing
awareness of the potential health risks related to their occurrence. The first part of this review …
