Microplastics (MP) are emerging contaminants that are leading to great concern in the water
and wastewater treatment sector. Membrane technologies have been applied for the direct …

Over the past decade, global reports have shown a rise in the harmful effects of
microplastics (MPs) on marine fish. This study analysed marine species' biochemical …

Due to its widespread occurrence in practically all environmental sectors, including the
terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric, microplastics (MP) have transitioned from an emerging …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) in the ocean represents a potential threat to
marine organisms, with poorly understood long-term adverse effects, including exposure to …

The inappropriate disposal of plastic and the presence of plastic microspheres in
wastewater resulting from industrial processes associated with their difficult biodegradation …

The potential toxicity of microplastics is a growing concern for the scientific community. The
loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is particularly inclined to accidently ingest plastic and …

Management of plastic litter in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is expensive but crucial to
avoid harms to critical environments. In the present work, an open-source numerical …

The occurrence of natural/artificial and synthetic microfibers was assessed in three
commercial fish species (Engraulis encrasicolus, Mullus barbatus, Merluccius merluccius) …

Plastic pollution has been extensively documented in the marine food web, but targeted
studies focusing on the relationship between microplastic ingestion and fish trophic niches …

This study provides a pilot investigation of the relationship between microplastic ingestion
and the trophic ecology of three pelagic fish species (Engraulis encrasicolus, Scomber …
