Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of microplastics in aquatic environments is a global threat. Once microplastics (MPs) are released into aquatic environments, these contaminants enter the water, and microplastics enter the food chain and can cause serious health risks. An assessment of ecological risks is essential. This Special Issue was created to fill in knowledge gaps on various sources, the transportation of microplastics in the water environment, the effects on the environmental and the health of biota and humans, global policy frameworks, and finally control strategies that are used to prevent microplastics from being released in the aquatic environment.
