Abstract Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm) are a contaminant of increasing
ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments, as well as for human health. Although …

A review of 80 papers on microplastic (MP) particles in marine sediments was conducted for
different sedimentary environments. The papers were assessed for data on average MP …

The combined pollution of heavy metals and microplastics is common in natural soil
environments. Here, we collected 790 data sets from 39 studies to investigate the effects of …

Microplastics (MPs), tiny particles broken down from larger pieces of plastics, have
accumulated everywhere on the earth. As an inert carbon stream in aquatic environment …

Microplastic contamination of the oceans is one of the world's most pressing environmental
concerns. The terrestrial component of the global microplastic budget is not well understood …

The effect of fiber type (cotton, polyester, and rayon), temperature, and use of detergent on
the number of microfibers released during laundering of knitted fabrics were studied during …

The widespread occurrence of microplastic has invaded the environment to an extent that it
appears to be present throughout the globe. This review investigated the global abundance …

Environmental pollutants such as microplastics have become a major concern over the last
few decades. We investigated the presence, characteristics, and potential health risks of …

Microplastics (MPs) are well-known emerging contaminants in the marine environment. A
key route by which MPs can directly affect marine life is through ingestion. The objective of …

Although weekly consumption of fish is recommended, the presence of contaminants in
seafood has raised many concerns regarding the benefits of fish intake. In the present study …
