The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

Cost–benefit analysis of landfill emergency securing: Two applications in Southern Italy
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 183-205, March 2026.Abstract The systematic use of landfills as a method of waste disposal is leaving a heavy legacy in terms of environmental pollution, especially in the case of illegal or non‐compliant disposal sites. When no environmental precaution is adopted, harmful substances' release imposes relevant health risk to the surrounding population.
