Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) have become an environmental hazard to natural
ecosystems and humanity due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment, and possess …

Microplastic disposal into riverine ecosystems is an emergent ecological hazard that mainly
originated from land-based sources. This paper presents a comprehensive review on …

As an emerging pollutant in the life cycle of plastic products, micro/nanoplastics (M/NPs) are
increasingly being released into the natural environment. Substantial concerns have been …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants of great concern for the environment. MPs'
presence and concentration in the air, soil, marine, and freshwater environments have been …

Freshwater river systems are commonly defined as the main transport paths of microplastics
(MP) from land into the seas. A shift in research interest from oceans to rivers can be …

The escalating production of synthetic plastics and inadequate waste management have led
to pervasive microplastic (MP) contamination in aquatic ecosystems. MPs, typically defined …

Microplastics, an emerging contaminant, is ubiquitous in almost every compartment of the
environment. They are of great environmental concern not only due to their pervasive …

The emerging global problems of microplastics pollution and their co-occurrence with other
pollutants have presented major new challenges for environmental health and protection …

Microplastic (MP), as a pollutant, is currently posing a biological hazard to the aquatic
environment. The study aims to isolate, quantify, and characterize the MP pollutants in …

Plastic pollution is considered to be one of the major problems of the 21st century. The issue
gets worse when dealing with the plastics pollution on a micro scale. The plastic particle of …
