Plastic particles less than 5mm are termed as microplastics (MPs), these are pervasive in water and soil, it can also withstand longer period of time with high durability. It can be broken down into smaller particles and can be adsorbed by various life-forms. Most marine organisms tend to ...
The main route of exposure is via alimentary and respiratory intake. Plastics pollutions may come from both: water and food contamination itself, and their packaging. The smaller sizes ( i.e. microplastics <150 m - MPs) are considered to be the most pervasive of living organisms and, ...
Microplastics, as emerging pollutants, have received great attention in the past few decades due to its adverse effects on the environment. Microplastics are ubiquitous in the atmosphere, soil, and water bodies, and mostly reported in aqueous environment. This paper summarizes the abundance and types...
Microplastics in aquaculture environments: Sources, pollution status, toxicity and potential as substrates for nitrogen-cycling microbiota Special attention needs to be given to the effects of nitrogen-cycling biofilms on the surface of MPs and their potential benefits to aquaculture water ...

Microplastics Tributyltin Bile acids Gut microbiome Dysbiosis 1. Introduction Microplastics (MPs), a class of plastic particles or debris with diameters less than 5 mm (Wagner et al., 2014), are derived mainly from the degradation of plastic litter and globally exist in various environments, such...

environment, aquaculture, and human health.The ecological and environmental risks associated with this should not be ignored.The transfer of pollutants through the food chain amplifies the risk to human beings.Nature-based solution for microplastics involves biofilters, biodegradation, and treatment ...
Microplastics ( <5 mm), which are classified based on primary or secondary sources, are widely distributed in the environment and exert significant effects on aquatic life forms; however, evidence regarding the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms is still limited. This researc...
The occurrence of microplastics in the aquatic environment has been reported around the world; however, their effects on freshwater oligochaetes are unknown. In this research, we investigated the toxic effects of polyethylene microplastics (MP), size between 40 and 48μm, on the aquatic worm ...
