The microplastic pollution and related ecological impacts in the aquatic environment have
attracted global attention over the past decade. Microplastics can be ingested by aquatic …

The co-occurrence of microplastics/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) with other environmental
contaminants has stimulated a focus shift of its skyrocketed research publications (more than …

With the widespread occurrence of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems having been firmly
established, the focus of research has shifted towards the assessments of their influence on …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and living
organisms have been exposed to these substances for a long time. When MPs/NPs enter …

In the literature, there is widespread consensus that methods in plastic research need
improvement. Current limitations in quality assurance and harmonization prevent progress …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

Due to the small size, high mobility and large surface area, nanoplastics (NPs) showed high
potential risks to aquatic organisms. This paper reviews the toxicity of NPs to aquatic …

Although more attention has been paid to plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, research
on the influence of plastic in freshwater ecosystems remains limited. To help fill this …

Microplastics are pervasive pollutants and have been found in all environmental
compartments globally, including aquatic ecosystems. Ingestion and trophic transfer of …

Microplastic and nanoplastic contamination is widespread and affects aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems. Photosynthetic organisms are present in both media, they are primary …
