Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are emerging global pollutants that garnered
enormous attention due to their potential threat to the ecosystem in virtue of their persistence …

Plastics enter the environment and break up into microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics
(NPs) by biotic and abiotic weathering. These small particles are widely distributed in the …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are plastic particles with sizes ranging between 1 and 1000 nm,
exhibiting exceptional qualities such as large surface area, lightweight, durability; therefore …

Microplastic pollution and associated impacts in the aquatic environment are spreading at
an alarming rate worldwide. Plastic waste is increasing in the environment, and …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants, especially in
food, with unknown health significance. MNPs passing through the gastrointestinal tract …

Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and> 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively
known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro (nano) plastics …

Humans are exposed to micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) through various routes, but the
adverse health effects of MNPs on different organ systems are not yet fully understood. This …

The discovery of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) has initiated additional
challenges and research opportunities for the scientific community owing to their unique …

The world and science are moving forward nonstop. Every day, we see novel technologies
that are coming to improve life quality. One of them is 3D printing or additive manufacturing …

This study investigates, for the first time, the concentration, distribution, fate and chemical
composition of microplastics (MPs) in urban and industrial soils of Ahvaz metropolis, SW …
