The present study evaluates the impact of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) under realistic exposure conditions...
The presence of microplastics within the human body has raised significant concerns about their potential health implications. Numerous studies have supported the hypothesis that the accumulation of microplastics can trigger inflammatory responses, disru
The distribution of total abundance according to size, for all analysed locations evidences that microplastics are the dominant fraction concerning item's numbers. In all analysed samples no macroplastics were found, while microplastics are 88.71% and mesoplastics are 11.29% of the total....
Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global importance. They are small enough to be ingested by a wide range of organisms and at nano-... EL Ng,E Huerta Lwanga,SM Eldridge,... - 《Science of the Total Environment》 被引量: 0发表: 2018年 Utilization of the Corncob Agr...
Microplastics (MPs) are defined as plastic particles of less than five millimeters in length (<5 mm), arising from the reduction of waste plastics by the effect of sunlight, wind, flows, living organisms or deliberation by industrial activities [3,4,5]. MPs are low-density and chemically st...

Given the threat of emerging contaminants (for example, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and plastics) to the environment and human heath, we hypothesized that GROWdb MAGs would encode and express genes related to transformations of these compounds to which river microorganisms are continuously exposed.

for significant harm to ecosystems, animals, and humans from these materials. An attractive solution to mitigate the environmental impact of microplastics is to develop plastics that do not generate persistent microplastics as part of their normal life cycle6. Even plastics that are properly collected...
