Among microplastics (MPs), fibers are one of the most abundant shapes encountered in the
aquatic environment. Growing attention is being focused on this typology of particles since …

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 …

This study evaluated the microplastic abundance, shape, color, size and chemical
composition of microplastic in mussels and estimated human exposure to microplastic …

Purpose Plastic pollution in the world has led to an abundance of microplastics (MPs) and
has been identified as a potential factor that can lead to serious environmental problems …

The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the biotic and abiotic components of the marine
environment poses a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. The objective of this …

Vascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide, and they are attributable to
multiple pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary …

Microplastics (MPs) and their impacts have been extensively studied in the Mediterranean
region. However, more research has yet to be conducted on assessing the extent of …

The use of single-use or disposable plastic objects has massively increased during the last
few decades, and plastic has become the main type of litter found in marine environments …

This study aimed to assess microplastics (MPs) in the digestive glands of Mytilus
galloprovincialis mussels. Mussels were collected from pristine, aquaculture, and port areas …

Road-associated microplastics, originating from tire wear and fragmented litter, are
significant contributors to microplastic pollution. This study examines the characteristics of …
