The Ecological Effects of Micro(nano)plastics in the Water Environment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is designed to serve as a collection of the latest work on conventional plastics and bioplastics. It is also intended to be a valuable review of achievements and deficiencies of the field which can serve as a basis for defining new frontiers in plastic research.

This call is open to all studies that address the potential toxicity of conventional plastic and bioplastics (biodegradable and non-biodegradable), compare their toxicity, and evaluate the ecological consequences of plastic pollution, preferably but not limited to using a set of methods applicable for different levels of biological organization.
