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 …

Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human
activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of …

Environmental pollution of microplastics (MPs) is known to be anthropogenically mediated
menace to biosphere and becoming a debatable concern globally. Large quantities of …

Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread
distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in …

Majority of the million tons of plastic produced each year is being disposed after single-use.
Plastic bottle, bags, food containers, gloves, and cup that end up in landfills and …

Microplastic (MP) contamination has been well documented across a range of habitats and
for a large number of organisms in the marine environment. Consequently, bioaccumulation …

This work reviews microplastic's impact on agroecosystem components and possible effects
on the food chain. Microplastics are sized< 5 µm, made up of diverse chemical constituents …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a raising global concern in recent years due to its wide
distribution. Additionally, most of the MPs have undergone extensive weathering in the …

To date, most studies of microplastics have been carried out with pristine particles. However,
most plastics in the environment will be aged to some extent; hence, understanding the …
