Nanoplastics are drawing a significant attention as a result of their propensity to spread
across the environment and pose a threat to all organisms. The presence of nanoplastics in …

Microplastic contamination has rapidly become a serious environmental issue, threatening
marine ecosystems and human health. This review aims to not only understand the …

Despite of our growing understanding of microplastic's implications, research on the effects
of fibrous microplastic (FMPs) on the environment is still in its infancy. Some scientists have …

As emerging contaminants, microplastics (MPs) have attracted global attention. They are a
potential risk to organisms, ecosystems and human health. MPs are characterized by small …

Plastic material manufacturing and buildup over the past 50 years has significantly
increased pollution levels. Microplastics (MPs) and non-biodegradable residual plastic films …

Microplastics have become a hot topic in the scientific community as they promote adverse
effects to living beings. Various analytical tools must be used simultaneously for …

Several studies have documented that plastic pollution is affecting one of the most remote
and pristine regions of our planet, Antarctica. Plastics of different size and polymeric …

The inflated demand for plastic products has led to tremendous rise in plastic debris in
different environmental matrices, thereby resulting in plastic pollution. This affects plants …

Marine sediments are a sink for microplastics, making seabed organisms particularly
exposed. We used meta-analysis to reveal general patterns in a surge in experimental …

Infants are characterized by an immaturity of the gut ecosystem and a high exposure to
microplastics (MPs) through diet, dust and suckling. However, the bidirectional interactions …
