Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

Despite the importance of estuaries as transition zones between freshwater and marine
compartments, their role in the transport of microplastics is still unclear. This review analyzes …

Plastic pollution is one of today's great environmental challenges. Research addressing the
issue of plastic pollution is growing, improving our predictions of risk, and informing the …

Plastic film mulching can maintain soil water and heat conditions, promote plant growth and
thus generate considerable economic benefits in agriculture. However, as they age, these …

Tidal zones providing habitats are particularly vulnerable to microplastic (MP) pollution. In
this study, the effects of tidal cycles on the transport of MPs (4–6 μm polyethylene, PE1; 125 …

In the present study, the infiltration and resuspension of microplastics (MPs) in a slope
substrate under the influence of repeated tidal forces were investigated using a tidal tank. In …

In coastal waters, higher concentrations of microplastics (MPs) are generally related to
densely populated and industrialized areas, but intense upwelling and offshore transport in …

Assessment of microplastic (MP) contamination is still needed to evaluate this threat
correctly and tackle this issue. Here, MP contamination was assessed for a meso-tidal …

Plastic pollution is a major societal, economic, and environmental issue. Upon release into
the environment, plastics are altered by biological and physicochemical processes that …
