Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Marine plastic waste pollution is one of the most urgent global marine environmental
problems worldwide. It has attracted worldwide attention from governments, the public, the …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Plastic pollution accumulating in an area of the environment is considered “poorly
reversible” if natural mineralization processes occurring there are slow and engineered …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Increasing concern and research on the subject of plastic pollution has engaged the
