Plastics, due to their varied properties, find use in different sectors such as agriculture,
packaging, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and construction, to mention a few. Excessive use of …

Since the transfer of microplastic across the sea–air interface was first reported in 2020,
numerous studies have been conducted on its emission flux estimation. However, these …

Currently, natural and urban ecosystems are affected by different types of atmospheric
deposition, which can compromise the balance of the environment. Plastic pollution …

Microplastics are globally ubiquitous in marine environments, and their concentration is
expected to continue rising at significant rates as a result of human activity. They present a …

Abstract This Assessment Update by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) considers the interactive effects of …

Microplastics (MP) have been recognized as an emerging atmospheric pollutant, yet
uncertainties persist in their emissions and concentrations. With a bottom-up approach, we …

Microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere can undergo long-range transport from emission
regions to pristine terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. Due to their inherent toxic and …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) can enter the atmosphere via sea spray aerosols (SSAs),
but the effects of plastic characteristics on the aerosolization process are unclear …

Microplastics (MP) are ubiquitous in the environment; their atmospheric relevance is being
increasingly recognized. Because of their atmospheric concentrations, there is the question …

The environmental effects of airborne micro‐and nano‐size plastic particles are poorly
understood. Microscopy and chemical analyses of atmospherically deposited particles on …
