Despite the importance of estuaries as transition zones between freshwater and marine
compartments, their role in the transport of microplastics is still unclear. This review analyzes …

Plastic particles of microscopic scale are present in the aquatic environment, especially at
lower trophic trophic levels where the number of microplastics (MPs) ingested per gram wet …

Vertical dynamics of microplastics (MPs) in the water column are complex and not fully
understood due to the diversity of environmental MPs and the impact of weathering and …

Microplastics, as emerging pollutants, have received great attention in the past few decades
due to its adverse effects on the environment. Microplastics are ubiquitous in the …

Microplastics (MPs) become ubiquitous contaminants in Marine Protected Areas (MPA) that
have been planned as a conservation strategy. The present study provides a …

The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) was investigated in the Arvand River (Iran). The
Arvand River (200 Km) is a major water body that flows through land with diverse use and it …

The river-sea transport of microplastic with complex environmental conditions and diverse
driving factors has received growing attention in the estuary. This research investigated the …

Microplastics (MPs) are considered one of the significant stratigraphic markers of the onset
of the Anthropocene Epoch; however, the interconnections between historic plastic …

Microplastics (MP) are defined as synthetic organic pollutants sized< 5 mm and have been
recorded in various environments worldwide. Due to their small size, they pose a potential …

Concerns regarding plastic pollution, especially microplastics, have increased, as they can
be present in different environmental compartments, including estuarine areas and …
