This study investigated the presence and characteristics of MPs in commonly used face and body scrubs. Six commercially available scrub brands were analyzed using various techniques, including SEM, FTIR, EDX, and DLS. The scrubs examined in this study were meticulously selected from markets in ...
material.The robots are built to remove microplastic particles which are smaller than 5 mm while moving through the water.Studies have found that microplastic pollution has been discovered in many natural environments.The material comes from the breakdown(分解) of plastic products and ...
• Different techniques for the reduction of fiber fragments from textiles are presented. The production and consumption of textiles is continuously increasing due to the growth of population and fast fashion. Fiber fragments (1 µm–5 mm) released from garments and home textiles during washing,...

The plastic that pollutes our waterways and the ocean gyres is a symptom of upstream material mismanagement, resulting in its ubiquity throughout the biosphere in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. While environmental contamination is widespread,
MPs and their degradation products may have a harmful effect on the environment, therefore increasing their removal from wastewater is very important. This can be achieved by introducing additional purification processes, as well as improving the operation of existing ones....
Bilal and Iqbal (2020) investigated the fate, transport and removal of microplastic from Interaction of toxic contaminants and microbes with microplastics Several studies regarding environmental monitoring and laboratory experiments highlighted that toxic metals are being accumulated with plastic debris from ...
In addition, the efficiency of removal of MPs from wastewater, and thus their accumulation in sludge, is highly dependent on their size. Primary and secondary treatment processes are more effective in removing MPs of different sizes than tertiary processes [58]. Large-size, low-density MPs and ...
Measurement of hemolysis is typically done by measuring free-heme in the blood plasma by spectroscopy, which requires the removal of the blood from the organism and cannot be done inin-vivoor in real-time. The combined modulating effect of albumin observed by Barshtein et al. and the ...
