This review provides a critical analysis of all the available literature on plastic pollution in
Morocco's marine environment between 2014 and 2023. It discusses the abundance …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution in the marine environment has become a global problem. In
this study, a number of 21 mollusk species (n= 2006) with different feeding habits were …

Plastic contamination is widely recognized as a major environmental concern due to the
entry of small plastic particles into the food chain, thereby posing potential hazards to human …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant contributors to microplastic (MP)
pollution in marine ecosystems when they are inefficient. This study aimed to evaluate the …

Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global concern due to its potential impacts on the
environment, ecosystem services and human health. The goals of the present study were to …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as high-load receptors of
microplastics (MPs) from different sources. However, the influence of specific treatment …

This study investigated the abundance of microplastics in three commercial bivalves found
at Bandon Bay. Spatial-temporal differences in the concentration of microplastics were …

Microplastic pollution (MPs) emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its
persistent nature. These MPs particles endure in waters, soils, and even the atmosphere …

Estuaries, which serve as vital links between land and coastal ecosystems, play a significant
part in facilitating the transfer of plastic waste from the land to the ocean. In this research, we …
