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 …

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 …

Environmental pollution of microplastics (MPs) is known to be anthropogenically mediated
menace to biosphere and becoming a debatable concern globally. Large quantities of …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment
is an undeniable and serious concern due to their higher persistence and extensive use in …

Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …

In the more than 100 years since the invention of plastics, various plastic polymers have
been developed that exhibit different characteristics and have been widely used in …

Plastic debris widely pollutes freshwaters. Abiotic and biotic degradation of plastics releases
carbon-based substrates that are available for heterotrophic growth, but little is known about …

This paper serves to enhance the current knowledge base of airborne microplastics which is
significantly smaller than that of microplastics in marine, freshwater and terrestrial …

This work reviews microplastic's impact on agroecosystem components and possible effects
on the food chain. Microplastics are sized< 5 µm, made up of diverse chemical constituents …

Microplastics contamination is widespread in the environment leading to the exposure of
both humans and other biota. While most studies overemphasize direct toxicity of …
