Mass spectrometry has emerged as a vital tool for microplastics (MPs) analysis, offering
sensitivity and specificity to identify diverse polymer types. This review explores mass …

Microplastics are emerging contaminants that undergo progressive aging under
environmental conditions such as sunlight irradiation, mechanical forces, temperature …

Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants, but their presence in
environmental and potable water remains largely understudied due to the absence of …

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a crucial role in the collection and
redistribution of plastic particles from both households and industries, contributing to their …

As a member of biodegradable plastics, exposure risk of polylactic acid microplastic (PLA-
MP) has received attention recently. Toxicity of PLA-MP at parental generation (P0-G) has …

Plastic products are extensively used worldwide, but inadequate management of plastic
waste results in significant plastic pollution. Biodegradable plastic (BPs) offers an alternative …

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a central point of collection of plastic
particles from households and industry and for their re-distribution into the environment …

The increase in the usage of biodegradable microplastics (MPs) as an alternative to
conventional plastics has necessitated comprehensive ecotoxicity assessments of …

Biodegradable plastics (BPs) have been widely advocated as a sustainable alternative to
petroleum-derived polymers, aiming to mitigate the burgeoning crisis of microplastic …

A growing number of studies have demonstrated that microplastic (MP) contamination is
