The reliance on plastic for a vast number of consumer products, many of them single-use,
results in their continuous entry into aquatic environments. Plastic waste can fragment into …

Exposure to microplastics (MP) in aquatic environment leads to bioaccumulation in fish, with
MP size being a major factor in determining the accumulation profile. MPs absorbed into the …

Different shapes of microplastics are widely detected in the environment and organisms and
most of them remain in the gut. However, the influences of shapes on the bioaccumulation …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Microplastics (MPs) can be ingested by a variety of species and mainly accumulate in the
gut. However, the consequences of MPs exposure in the gut are largely unknown. Here we …

Microplastic (MP) has become a concerning global environmental problem. It is toxic to
aquatic organisms and can spread through the food chain to ultimately pose a threat to …

There is increasing scientific and public concern over the presence of microplastics in the
natural environment. We present the results of a systematic review of the literature to assess …

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern due to its omnipresence and
degradation to smaller particles. The potential toxicological effects of micro-and nanoplastic …

Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments increased strongly during the
last decade. Environmental monitoring studies detected microplastic items in every tested …

The presence of microplastics within the gut of animals is well documented. Whether
microplastics bioaccumulate in organisms and biomagnify in food webs remains unclear …
