Pollution by microplastics (MPs) has caused potential threats to the environment.
Understanding the sources of MPs in the environment can help control their emissions and …

There are increasing concerns over the threat of nanoplastics to environmental and human
health. However, multidisciplinary barriers persist between the communities assessing the …

Microplastics (MPs) exposed to the natural environment provide an ideal surface for biofilm
formation, which potentially acts as a reactive phase facilitating the sorption of hazardous …

Microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM) is ubiquitous in water environment
and exhibits photosensitivity. However, little is known about the effects of MP-DOM on the …

Conditioning films (CFs) are surface coatings formed by the adsorption of biomolecules from
the surrounding environment that can modify the material-specific surface properties and …

With the increasing pollution of plastics and the widespread use of polylactic acid (PLA), its
weathering process in the natural environment needs to be studied. Hence, we investigated …

Plastic products such as fishing nets and foam buoys have been widely used in aquaculture.
To enhance the desirable characteristics of the final equipment, plastic gear for aquaculture …

Both micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
possessed excellent properties and diverse applications, albeit gained worldwide attention …

Determining the hazards posed by microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) requires an understanding of
plastic degradation processes when exposed to environmental weathering forces. However …

Marine plastic pollution is a major concern worldwide, but the understanding of plastisphere
dynamics remains limited in the southern hemisphere. To address this knowledge gap, we …
