Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastics pollution has attracted worldwide attention in recent years due to their wide
distribution and severe threat to biota. Additionally, microplastics will undergo serious aging …

The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-
products, including microplastics (MPs), which enter the human organism mainly by …

Introduction Environmental microparticle is becoming a global pollutant and the entire
population is increasingly exposed to the microparticles from artificial materials. The …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and their health effects is a recent scientific
topic. However, the investigation of MPs in human/biological matrices has several limitations …

Plastics are ubiquitously used by societies, but most of the plastic waste is deposited in
landfills and in the natural environment. Their degradation into submillimetre fragments …

When released in the environment, microplastics undergo surface weathering due to
mechanical abrasion and ultraviolet exposure. In this study, the adsorption of two model …

Plastic degradation by biological systems with re-utilization of the by-products could be a
future solution to the global threat of plastic waste accumulation. Here, we report that the …

The rapid expansion of plastic manufacturing industries in last several decades has brought
serious concerns over the environmental impacts of plastic wastes. Recent outbreak of …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are distributed in the environments universally. The
interrelationship between vascular plants and micro/nanoplastics began to attract attention …
