Mujibur Rahman Microplastics, plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, pose a growing threat to aquatic ecosystems due to their persistence and potential bioaccumulation. While most studies focus on marine systems, limited attention has...

... chemical bonds and high molecular weight, inhibit natural biodegradation of plastics by wild-type microbes. This has led to the accumulation of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment, which is projected to be 12 000 million metric t by the year 2050. Such accumulation bears serious health side...

... established, long-term accumulation of microplastics in living systems can have an adverse impact on health and function. Critically, this review explores state-of-the-art physical, chemical and biological methods for removing and destroying new and legacy microplastics in aquatic ecosystems (natural...

... in the environment. Nevertheless, plastics produce microplastics through degradation and fragmentation of plastic debris largely from anthropogenic sources. Microplastics have become ubiquitous in the natural environment, and the terrestrial environment is the major source. The propensity of microplastics to adsorb...
