DistributionMicroplasticsPhysicochemical characteristicsMicroplastics (<5mm) are contaminants of emerging global concern. They have received considerable attention in scientific research, resulting in an increased awareness of the issue among politicians and the general public. However, there has been significant...
The abundance and global distribution of microplastics in the oceans appeared to have steadily increased over past decades (Cole et al. 2011; Claessens et al. 2011; Thompson 2015), while a decrease in the average size of plastic litter has been observed over this time period (Barnes et al....
Current status of microplastics and nanoplastics removal methods: Summary, comparison and prospect 2022, Science of the Total Environment Citation Excerpt : Sea flow, river discharge and deposition participate in the distribution of M/NPs in aquatic systems (Li et al., 2022a). Human activities dete...
Dozens of expeditions measuring microplastics have been carried out since the 1970s, but they have primarily focused on the North Atlantic and North Pacific accumulation zones, with much sparser coverage elsewhere. Here, we use the largest dataset of microplastic measurements assembled to date to ...

However, this distorts the true size distribution of microplastics in the water, as shown in Figure 3, which compares data from Cózar et al. (2014) versus Enders et al. (2015). Further, Chae et al. (2015) collected orders of magnitude greater microplastics from water when using a 20 ...
The global issue of plastic pollution is intensifying day by day due to the growing demand for plastics in every sector and the poor plastic waste management practices. The extensive use and improper disposal of plastics lead to the inevitable introduction of microplastics into the water, soil, an...
The fresh water ecosystem is also considered as possible sink of MPs (Wagner and Lambert, 2018; Strungaru et al., 2019; Prokić et al., 2019). Sources, types, sizes, and concentrations of MPs in an environment are associated with local human activities. For instance, the distribution ...
Several previous studies have reviewed the distribution of microplastics in sediment and their potential relevant factors [12,13,17]. However, considering the fact that the inveatigatetion about microplastics is booming, it is not easy to obtain a detailed and updated understanding of the ...
