The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Airborne microplastics (MPs) have been sampled globally, and their concentration is known
to increase in areas of high human population and activity, especially indoors. Respiratory …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

Given the rapid advancement of microplastic (MP) contamination studies, we present a
comprehensive review in which the studies that identified and characterized MPs in human …

Microplastic pollution research has suffered from inadequate data and tools for spectral
(Raman and infrared) classification. Spectral matching tools often are not accurate for …

Plastics are the most important component in marine debris. In turn, within plastics,
microplastics (< 5 mm) are those that most affect marine biota. Thus, this review has as its …

Environmental pollution with microplastics (MPs) is a major and worldwide concern.
Involuntary exposure to MPs by ingestion or inhalation is unavoidable. The effects on human …

Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments increased strongly during the
last decade. Environmental monitoring studies detected microplastic items in every tested …

Microplastics are a widespread contaminant found not only in various natural habitats but
also in drinking waters. With spectroscopic methods, the polymer type, number, size, and …
