Gadolinium (Gd) is one of the most commercially exploited rare earth elements, commonly
employed in magnetic resonance imaging as a contrast agent. The present review was …

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has raised many concerns, and
therefore approaches and technologies to remove them in situ are of high interest. In this …

Fragmented microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants in freshwater environments;
however, long-term assessment of their toxicity remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate …

Most microplastics are expected to sink and end up in marine sediments. However, very little
is known concerning their potential impact on sediment-dwelling organisms. We studied the …

Abstract Knowledge on the impacts of microplastics (MPs) pollution on freshwater
environments and biota remains limited. Meanwhile, freshwater ecosystems have been …

The presence and potential toxicity of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic ecosystems is an issue
of growing concern. Although many studies have investigated the adverse effects of short …

Abrasion of tire wear is one of the largest sources of microplastics to the environment.
Although most tire particles settle into soils, studies on their ecotoxicological impacts on the …

Identifying important sites for biodiversity is vital for conservation and management.
However, there is a lack of accessible, easily applied tools that enable practitioners to …

Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) link toxicity across levels of biological organization, and
thereby facilitate the development of suborganismal responses predictive of whole …

Inappropriate processing and disposal of electronic waste contributes to the contamination
of aquatic systems by various types of pollutants such as the rare-earth elements (REE) in …
