To date, most studies of microplastics have been carried out with pristine particles. However,
most plastics in the environment will be aged to some extent; hence, understanding the …

Microplastics, which serve as sources and vector transport of organic contaminants in both
terrestrial and marine environments, are emerging micropollutants of increasing concerns …

Foliar uptake of nanoplastics could represent a pathway responsible for pollutant loads in
crop plants, thereby posing risks to human health. To evaluate the foliar uptake, leaf-to-root …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are plastic particles with sizes ranging between 1 and 1000 nm,
exhibiting exceptional qualities such as large surface area, lightweight, durability; therefore …

Despite the increasing concern about the harmful effects of micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs),
there are no harmonized guidelines or protocols yet available for MNP ecotoxicity testing …

Microplastics have become predominant contaminants, attracting much political and
scientific attention. Despite the massively-increasing research on microplastics effects on …

Massive amounts of plastic waste have been released into ecosystems, generating huge
amounts of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) during the environmental aging …

Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and> 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively
known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro (nano) plastics …

Microplastics are emerging pollutants that have been widely reported in aquatic ecosystems.
Based on the analysis of environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics in global …

As important emerging contaminants, nanoplastics can act as vectors for other
environmental pollutants, resulting in their migration throughout ecosystems and altering …
