Microplastics are ubiquitous in the global environment. As a typical emerging pollutant, its
potential health hazards have been widely concerning. In this brief paper, we introduce the …

Plastics play an indispensable role in our daily lives, owing to their ease in use, low cost,
strength, versatility and durability but their excessive usage in packaging industries …

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in human fluids and organs is a great concern, since,
as highlighted by recent studies on animal models, they could cause alterations of several …

Polymeric wastes are among the current major environmental problems due to potential
pollution and contamination. Within the spectrum of polymeric waste, microplastics (MPs) …

The proliferation of micro/nanoplastics derived from the fragmentation of plastic waste
released in the environment represents an increasingly alarming issue with adverse …

The increase of micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) in aquatic environments has become a
significant concern due to their potential toxicological effects on ecosystems, food web …

Nanoplastics (NPs) induce nephrotoxicity in mammals, but an understanding of the potential
mechanism or amelioration strategies is lacking. Herein, we established the polystyrene …

Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that have been detected in human
semen from polluted areas, yet their prevalence and effects in the general population remain …

Abstract Background Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles (< 5 mm) ubiquitous in water,
soil, and air, indicating that humans can be exposed to MPs through ingestion of water and …

Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems, and its negative effects through trophic
transfer among marine organisms, remains a growing concern. Our study investigates the …
