Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

The issue of microplastic pollution emerged from the marine environment, but the terrestrial
environment is estimated to receive annually 4–23 times more plastic wastes. Microplastic …

Plastic litter is widely acknowledged as a global environmental threat, and poor
management and disposal lead to increasing levels in the environment. Of recent concern is …

Microplastics with extremely high abundances are universally detected in marine and
terrestrial systems. Microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment, especially in ocean …

Interactions between nano/microplastics and suspended sediment (SS) in natural waters are
important for the environmental fate of plastic particles. This study investigated the effect of …

Nanomaterials are finding increasing use for biomedical applications such as imaging,
diagnostics, and drug delivery. While it is well understood that nanoparticle (NP) physico …

The presence of microplastics in various abiotic and biotic matrices has sought the attention
of researchers across the globe. Despite being subsurface, groundwater is also reported to …

Nanoparticle zeta-potentials are relatively easy to measure, and have consistently been
proposed in guidance documents as a particle property that must be included for complete …

Transport characteristics of fragmental polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) microplastics
in porous media were elucidated via column experiments under a series combination of …

The global plastic contamination is one of the major challenges facing mankind as plastic is
ubiquitously present in all environmental compartments. In contrast to freshwater and marine …
