Understanding the effects of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a priority in
environmental research. A central aspect of this suite of pollutants is that it entails particles …

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 …

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 …

Plastics are ubiquitously used by societies, but most of the plastic waste is deposited in

Microplastics (MPs) co-occur widely with diverse contaminants in soils. However, few data
are available on their impacts on soil chemical and microbial properties of heavy metal …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

The ubiquity of microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm, including nanosized plastics< 1 µm) in
the global biosphere raises increasing concerns about their implications for human health (1 …
