While versatile application of plastics has generated huge benefits in our life, the 'plastic end-
of-life'comes with downsides of emerging concern is plastic particles within all parts of …

Plastics, especially microplastics in soils, are considered a severe environmental issue
worldwide. However, globally, the main research focus is on microplastic pollution in the …

The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are key indicators of the plasticine era,
widely spread across different ecosystems. MPs and NPs become global stressors due to …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Plastics can linger for years in various environmental compartments after being discarded
and exposed to the physical and chemical influences that dismantle their plastic structure to …

The pervasive dispersion of micro/nanoplastics in various environmental matrices has
raised concerns regarding their potential intrusion into terrestrial ecosystems and, notably …

Nowadays, a growing number of microplastics are released into the environment due to the
extensive use and inappropriate management of plastic products. With the increasing body …

Microplastic is an emerging contaminant of concern in soil globally due to its widespread
and potential risks on the ecological system. Some basic issues such as the occurrence …

The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in
air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest …
