The escalating production of synthetic plastics and inadequate waste management have led
to pervasive microplastic (MP) contamination in aquatic ecosystems. MPs, typically defined …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have gained increasing attention in
environmental research due to their ubiquitousness and potential impacts on natural …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs), particles under 5 mm, pervade water, soil, sediment, and air
due to increased plastic production and improper disposal, posing global environmental and …

The present study employs X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze plastic
samples subjected to degradation processes with the aim to gain insight on the relevant …

Investigating microplastics (MPs) in groundwater suffers from problems already faced by
surface water research, such as the absence of common protocols for sampling and …

Microplastics (MPs) have become a matter of very serious concern as environmental
pollutants nowadays because of the humongous increased production, use-and-discard …

Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in global plastic production, leading to
heightened concerns over microplastics (MPs) contamination as a significant environmental …

Microplastics are small plastic particles found widely in the environment, posing significant
challenges as diverse environmental contaminants. Their pervasive presence and potential …

In the last few years, an increasing interest has developed regarding the application of
different techniques for the identification of pollutants inside the tissues deriving from …

In this study, we investigate, for the first time, the abundance, distribution, chemical
composition, and exposure of microplastics (MPs) in Indian rice and their impact on human …
