Environmental pollution of microplastics (MPs) is known to be anthropogenically mediated
menace to biosphere and becoming a debatable concern globally. Large quantities of …

ABSTRACT Weathering of microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in terrestrial and aquatic
environments affects MP transport and distribution. This paper first summarizes the sources …

Biodegradable polymers have been regarded as a promising solution to tackle the
pollutions caused by the wide use of conventional polymers. However, during the …

This is the first study to show microplastics contamination in an alluvial sedimentary aquifer
that has been capped from the atmosphere. Microplastics are often reported in biotic and …

Interactions between humans and the physical environment in which they live have been
studied extensively and the reason being that human activities to a great extent exert an …

In recent decades, much attention has been paid to microplastic pollution, and research on
microplastics has begun to grow exponentially. However, microplastics research still suffers …

Due to the hydrophobicity and large specific surface area microplastics (MPs) have become
the vector for the migration of environmental organic pollutants. Environmental aging …

Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic debris (< 5 mm) that result from the fragmentation of
plastic due to physical and physiochemical processes. MPs are emerging pollutants that …

The occurrence and transformation of microplastics (MPs) remaining in the water treatment
plants has recently attracted considerable attention. However, few efforts have been made to …

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted significant concern due to their persistence and adverse
effects on organisms. In this review, we summarize the recent literature on the natural and …
