Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Microplastics, whether originating directly from industrial and household products or from the
degradation of larger plastics, are currently of intense global concern. These particles are …

Microplastics in bivalves have caused widespread concern due to their potential health risk
to humans. In this study, microplastics in the digestive systems of four locally cultured bivalve …

Because of their diverse sizes, shapes, and densities, environmental microplastics are often
perceived as complex. Many studies struggle with this complexity and either address only a …

Microplastics (MPs) have globally been detected in aquatic and marine environments, which
has raised scientific interests and public health concerns during the past decade. MPs are …

Microplastics have been detected in various environments, yet the differences between
microplastics in different environments are still largely unknown. Scientists have proposed …

Urban drainage system is an important channel for terrigenous microplastics (< 5 mm in
size) to migrate to urban water bodies, especially the input load caused by overflow pollution …

The amount of plastics released into the environment has been increasing dramatically. As
the physical and chemical degradation of plastics results in the production of millimeter-and …

Microplastic pollution resulting from industrialization and urbanization is increasingly
serious. Hangzhou is a city with high industrial/urban growth in Southeast China. Focusing …

Microplastics (MPs) are widely found in coastal areas and oceans worldwide. The MPs are
environmentally concerning due to their bioavailability and potential impacts on a wide …
