This study address for the first time in Argentina and the South American continent the effect of water management on the presence of microplastics (MPs) in a shallow lake, assessing their contribution to the zooplankton...

In coastal areas, microplastics (MPs) can deposit in sediment, allowing it to be ingested by benthic organisms, like mussels, thus creating a possible transfer to humans. The aim of this study is to evaluate MPs pollutio...

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics (MPs) are certain types of persistent plastic contaminants that are a cause of concern to both the ecosystems and human health. The nanotechnologies o...

Microplastics in agricultural soils may act as sorptive agents for organic contaminants. This study investigated the effects of soil aging of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) microplastics on the sorption and deso...

Aerobic granular sludge(AGS), characterized by high biological retention capacity and environmental stress resistance, has emerged as a frontier technology for dyeing wastewater treatment. However, the impact of cellulos...

Microplastics (MPs), environmental pollutants resulting from the degradation of plastic products and industrial processes, have become ubiquitous in global ecosystems. MPs can enter the human body through ingestion, inha...

The expanding deployment of biodegradable mulch films in global agriculture aims to mitigate persistent plastic pollution, yet the fate of resulting biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) in soil ecosystems remains poorly ch...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

ABSTRACT Growing global concern surrounds microplastics, found in various environments. However, data on microplastics contamination in salted shrimp and associated health risks remain scarce. We analyzed whether salted ...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) represent a significant environmental pollutant and have raised considerable concern due to their tendency to accumulate in animals, plants, and humans, thereby posing potential health risks....

Abstract In recent times, both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated toxicological and pathological evidence of microplastic exposure in neurological dysfunction and diseases. The mechanistic linkage of micropla...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Pujada Bay is a marine biodiversity hotspot in the Philippines and has been declared one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the Mt. Hamiguitan Ran...

Estuaries function as sinks for microplastics due to their proximity to urban areas and pollution sources. Because of the great availability of plastic debris in these areas, these pollutants can be accumulated in biota ...

This study investigates the ingestion of microplastics (MPs) by zooplankton in the surf zone of southwestern Atlantic sandy beaches, an extremely turbulent environment with high interaction between suspended particles. S...

Abstract In this study, microplastics (MPs) source, movement and final disposition in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and its ultimate release into natural water bodies are investigated. It seeks to exploit this to d...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in agricultural soils is an emerging environmental hazard with poorly understood impacts on crops. Here, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of polyethylene MPs on tomato (Sola...

Abstract The dual challenges of waste biomass disposal and escalating contamination by inorganic, organic, and emerging microplastic pollutants demand sustainable, circular remediation strategies. Biochar, a carbon-rich,...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Plastic pollution is a global crisis, with polystyrene (PS) among the most recalcitrant polymers owing to its stable aromatic structure and resistance to natural degradation. Although insect larvae such as mealworms and ...

Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information regarding their presence in marine prot...

The author deals with the legal regulation of the management of primary microplastics at the EU level. The article is mainly devoted to the comparison of the already existing legal regulation of some EU Member States, wh...

Accelerating the composting of organic waste remains a key objective in research and practice. This review aims to critically examine recent advancements in microbial inoculation (MI) strategies and their role in enhanci...
