Microplastics (MPs) and microfibers (MFs) pose significant environmental hazards, especially in aquatic systems, and are increasingly subject to EU regulatory measures under REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals...

Exposure to PM2.5 and its associated micropollutants, including micro- and nanoplastics, has been strongly linked to adverse health effects in humans. The risk posed by micro/nanoplastics can be attributed to the particles themselves and their abilit...

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with many small islands. However, studies on the distribution of plastic waste in coastal areas of small islands are still minimal compared to larger islands. This study aims to identify the types, quantities, and...

Microplastics are one of the most widely studied and concerning contaminants, as they are present in all environmental compartments, especially water bodies. Wastewater treatment plants are one of the most important pathways through which these pollu...

Nowadays, microplastic (MP) pollution has attracted increasing interest from the scientific community. This systematic review investigated the MP concentration in various tissues of five commercial fish species (Engraulis encrasicolus, Boops boops, S...

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging aquatic contaminants that pose environmental and public health risks due to their persistence, ubiquity, and ability to adsorb co-contaminants. This scoping review synthesises findings from 57 e...

Microplastic contamination in milk and dairy products is an emerging public health concern due to the potential transfer of polymer particles into the human diet. This study aims to assess the health risks associated with the presence of five major p...

Microplastics have become a major environmental concern due to their resistance to degradation, wide distribution, and potential uptake by organisms. Conventional mitigation strategies often exhibit limitations in efficiency, reuse, and scalability,...

Microplastics harbor chemical additives and absorb pollutants from the environment. Microplastics pose a human health threat and have been found in nearly all human tissues. The toxicological pathways and physiological effects of microplastic-mediate...

Bacterial biofilms on different types of microplastics in aquatic environments have become an increasing ecological and public health concern. In this context, this study investigated biofilm formation on virgin and aged microplastics under marine co...
