BMEMat, EarlyView.This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Microplastic contamination in market bivalve Argopecten purpuratus from Lima, Peru
Manglar, 2019 Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants in the marine environment. Many marine commercial species, among fish, mollusks and crustaceans, are subject to microplastic exposure through ingestion.

Microplastic abundance and its relationship with sediment grain size in seagrass and bare flats of Panjang Island, Banten Bay, Indonesia [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesMicroplastic accumulation in sediment is influenced by the grain size of sediment. Panjang Island, located in Banten Bay, has the potential to accumulate microplastics from bay-wide transport and local anthropogenic sources.

Microplastic Pollution in Surface Waters and Sediments of Urban Lake
The use of plastic, which is largely included in our daily lives, causes an increase in microplastic (MP) concentrations in ecosystems. Microplastics can be found in surface waters, sediments, beaches, and some aquatic organisms.

Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.
