Abstract Purpose of Review Microplastics in the environment enter the human body through
diet, drinking water, and air inhalation. The widespread detection of microplastics in several …

Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in
about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

As plastic debris in the environment continues to increase, an emerging concern is the
potential for microplastic to act as vectors for pathogen transport. With aquaculture the …

Microplastics are the major environmental health hazards spotted in almost all the marine
habitats and biota of world. The earlier research on microplastics have mainly focused on …

Microplastic contamination in the environment is a global problem, as evidenced by the
increasing amount of research worldwide. To our knowledge, this study is the first to …

Microplastics are widely distributed environmental contaminants. To understand their
impacts on the environment and health, more high-quality results are needed. Since …

The amount of plastic waste and microplastics released into marine environments has
increased rapidly in recent decades. The durability of plastic materials results in major …

The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of
environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression …

We conducted one of the first studies to integrate the quantification and characterization of
microplastics (MPs), including fibers, in different habitats (sea surface, seafloor and beach …
