Microplastic pollution has emerged as a new environmental concern due to our reliance on
plastic. Recent years have seen an upward trend in scholarly interest in the topic of …

Microplastics as vectors for contaminants in the environment is becoming a topic of public
interest. Microplastics have been found to actively adsorb heavy metals, per-fluorinated alkyl …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that act as a carrier of toxic pollutants, release
toxic substances, and aggregate in biota. The adsorption behavior of MPs has recently …

Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

Microplastics are well known for vector transport of hydrophobic organic contaminants, and
there are growing concerns regarding their potential adverse effects on ecosystems and …

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 …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants of growing concern. These
have been found in multiple environmental compartments, including remote sites where …

Due to the increasing concerns on global ecosystems and human health, the environmental
risks posed by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become an important topic …

The issue of microplastic pollution emerged from the marine environment, but the terrestrial
environment is estimated to receive annually 4–23 times more plastic wastes. Microplastic …

Plastic debris becomes currently a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and is susceptible to
contamination by many other pollutants, including aqueous metals and organic matter. This …
