Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human
activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of …

Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Plastic waste exposed to

Numerous studies have made the ubiquitous presence of plastic in the environment
undeniable, and thus it no longer comes as a surprise when scientists measure the …

Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

Accumulation of plastic litter exerts pressure on the environment. Microplastics (MPs)
