Numerous studies have made the ubiquitous presence of plastic in the environment
undeniable, and thus it no longer comes as a surprise when scientists measure the …

This paper serves to enhance the current knowledge base of airborne microplastics which is
significantly smaller than that of microplastics in marine, freshwater and terrestrial …

Plastics are an integral but largely inconspicuous part of daily human routines. The present
review paper uses cross-disciplinary scientific literature to examine and assess the possible …

On account of environmental concerns, the fate and adverse effects of plastics have
attracted considerable interest in the past few years. Recent studies have indicated the …

Microplastics have recently been detected in atmospheric fallout in Greater Paris. Due to
their small size, they can be inhaled and may induce lesions in the respiratory system …

The uncontrolled introduction into the environment of plastic polymers have caused the
dispersion of plastic fragments, known as Microplastics (MPs), that represent an important …

Plastic debris have been shown to degenerate to particle sizes that can be transported in air,
water, and food. Small particles are documented to enter and exit our bodies and translocate …

Abstract Background Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles (< 5 mm) ubiquitous in water,
soil, and air, indicating that humans can be exposed to MPs through ingestion of water and …

Plastics are ubiquitous persistent pollutants, forming the most representative material of the
Anthropocene. In the environment, they undergo wear and tear (ie, mechanical …

The increasing demand for plastic in our daily lives has led to global plastic pollution. The
improper disposal of plastic has resulted in a massive amount of atmospheric microplastics …
