Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Sewer overflow (SO), which has attracted global attention, poses serious threat to public
health and ecosystem. SO impacts public health via consumption of contaminated drinking …

Despite the ubiquitous and persistent presence of microplastic (MP) in marine ecosystems,
knowledge of its potential harmful ecological effects is low. In this work, we assessed the risk …

A total of 417 striped red mullet, Mullus surmuletus, were analyzed to study microplastic
ingestion and livers of fish were assessed to study effects of microplastics. Nearly one third …

Microplastic pollution is one of the emerging threats across the globe and is becoming a
topic of intense study for environmental researchers. At present, almost all of the world's …

Plastic biodegradation by mealworm is regarded as an emerging strategy for plastic
disposal. In this study, the polystyrene (PS) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) …

We conducted one of the first studies to integrate the quantification and characterization of
microplastics (MPs), including fibers, in different habitats (sea surface, seafloor and beach …

Due to the environmental persistence and ecotoxological impacts of plastic waste and
debris, pollution as the result of micro-and nano-plastics is a global concern. Here we …

The conventional methods of plastic waste management such as mechanical and chemical
recycling, landfill complemented by incineration and pyrosis have limited scope. Thus …

Source-to-sink geoscientific domain and environmental plastic cycle studies are two major
scientific worlds starting to interact, taking benefit from each other. To advance in our …
