Given the global abundance and environmental persistence, exposure of humans and
(aquatic) animals to micro-and nanoplastics is unavoidable. Current evidence indicates that …

The prevalence of micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) across the various environments and
their negative impact on ecosystems have become a serious global threat and are currently …

Microplastics (MPs) have been well demonstrated as potential threats to the ecosystem,
whereas the neurotoxicity of MPs in mammals remains to be elucidated. The current study …

Recent studies have identified increasing levels of nanoplastic pollution in the environment.
Here, we find that anionic nanoplastic contaminants potently precipitate the formation and …

With the prevalence of nanoplastics in daily life, human exposure is inevitable. However,
whether and how nanoplastics cause neurotoxicity in humans remains obscure. Herein, we …

The recent advent of microphysiological systems–microfluidic biomimetic devices that aspire
to emulate the biology of human tissues, organs and circulation in vitro–is envisaged to …

With the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2),
disposable face masks (DFMs) have caused negative environmental impacts. DFMs will …

The presence of plastics in the marine environment poses a threat to ocean life and has
received much scientific and public attention in recent years. Plastics were introduced to the …

Plastics are ubiquitous persistent pollutants, forming the most representative material of the
Anthropocene. In the environment, they undergo wear and tear (ie, mechanical …

Background Polypropylene (PP) is used in various products such as disposable containers,
spoons, and automobile parts. The disposable masks used for COVID-19 prevention mainly …
