Microplastic disposal into riverine ecosystems is an emergent ecological hazard that mainly
originated from land-based sources. This paper presents a comprehensive review on …

Marine pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems, mainly due to single-use or
disposable plastic waste fragmenting into microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) and …

The plastisphere is the microbial communities that grow on the surface of plastic debris,
often used interchangeably with plastic biofilm or biofouled plastics. It can affect the …

Plastic floating on the ocean surface represents about 1% of all plastic in the ocean, despite
the buoyancy of most plastics. Biofouling can help to sink debris, which could explain this …

Microplastics pollution has led to irreversible environmental consequences and has
triggered global concerns. It has been shown that water resources and marine food …

Plastic debris is a significant threat to marine and coastal ecosystems. Previous research
found that waves, wind, as well as density, size, and shape of microplastics, drive their …

We report the results of experiments designed to evaluate the performance of a bubble
barrier device for microplastics collection in natural and artificial streams. Bubble barrier is …

Freshwater ecosystems are viewed as a key medium for the transport of land-based plastics
into oceans. Microplastic (MP) particles in freshwater environments demonstrate high …

Sewage treatment plants (STPs) are considered as a significant source of microplastic
pollution into the terrestrial and aquatic environment. Existing observations suggest that …

In the last decade, interest in monitoring and managing plastic pollution has greatly
increased. This study compared levels of microplastic contamination in stomachs of …
