In recent years, there has been mounting concern about the bearing of microplastics on
human health and the comprehensive natural environment. These particles come from a …

Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in the environment have attracted worldwide attention
due to their wide distribution and difficulty in handling. Aging processes such as UV …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in
air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest …

Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating
microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier …

Plastic waste are introduced into the environment inevitably and their exposure in the
environment causes deterioration in mechanical and physicochemical properties and leads …

Nowadays, global environmental pollution is one of the most topical issues we have to deal
with on a daily basis. Due to the development of the current society including industrial and …

Microplastics (MPs), an emerging pollutant, are of global concern due to their wide
distribution and large quantities. In addition to MPs themselves, various additives within MPs …

Additives may be present in amounts higher than 50% within plastic objects. Additives in
plastics can be gradually released from microplastics (MPs) into the aquatic environment …
