To further enhance the quality of Microplastics (ISSN 2673-8929) and the papers published in it, under the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Nicolas Kalogerakis, the journal has updated and revised its aims and scope. The original scope and the updated version are listed below:
|
Scope (new version):
|
Scope (old version):
|
- Sampling, characterization, and quantification of microplastics and nanoplastics in environmental matrices (air, soil, water);
- Sampling, characterization, and quantification of microplastics and nanoplastics in biological tissues (e.g., plant, animal, human);
- Technologies for ocean cleanup of plastic debris;
- Plastic debris/marine litter and their associated chemicals;
- Plastic pellets in the environment—occurrence, collection and mitigation;
- Fate of microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic environments (freshwater and marine);
- Fate of microplastics and nanoplastics in terrestrial environments;
- Field studies of microplastics and nanoplastics in agricultural soils and plant tissues;
- Occurrence, characterization, exposure assessment, and risk evaluation of microplastics and nanoplastics in food and food products;
- Microfibers and nanofibers from textiles;
- Effect of microplastics and nanoplastics on ecosystem function;
- Effect of microplastics and nanoplastics on human health;
- Human exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics through food, water, air, and consumer products;
- Fate of microplastics and nanoplastics in the human body and biological systems;
- Ecotoxicology of microplastics and nanoplastics;
- Fate of biodegradable/bio-based microplastics and nanoplastics;
- Chemical and biological recycling of microplastics;
- (Bio)degradation of microplastics and nanoplastics;
- Waste management and mitigation of microplastics and nanoplastics;
- Modeling the accumulation, transport and degradation of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment;
- Migration, transformation and ecological impacts of microplastics and nanoplastics;
- Legislation, policy, governance, and economic impacts related to microplastics and nanoplastic pollution.
