The billions of tons of plastic released into the environment mostly fragment into smaller
particles that reach rivers and oceans, posing toxicity risks to aquatic organisms. As fish …

Rivers are known for carrying out a fundamental role in the transportation of human debris
from continental areas to the marine environment and have been identified as hotspots for …

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

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging and ubiquitous contaminants which have been gaining
prominence since the last decade to nowadays. This is due to their possible adverse effects …

The characterization of microplastics helps to improve sustainable management practices in
aquatic ecosystems impacted by plastic litter. Plastic litter and microplastics from four ocean …

This is the first study to report the plastic ingestion by Prochilodus lineatus in Brazilian fluvial
ecosystems. We examined 32 individuals collected in two contrasting lotic environments: the …

The effect of daily ingestion of polypropylene microplastic on the health of tilapia,
Oreochromis niloticus, was evaluated. 60 fish (±200 g) were placed in 6 aquariums (n= 10 …

This article aims to understand the role of institutions, especially meso-institutions, in the
construction of definitions of bioplastics that foster sociotechnical changes, so that a single …

Simple Summary Amongst aquatic animals, fish are potentially vulnerable to the ingestion—
accidental or intentional—of microplastics (MPs) discarded in the environment, due to …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination is a well-established impact in oceans, but integrated
approaches combining simultaneous analyzes of biotic and abiotic components are scarce …
