Microplastics in Different Coastal Environmental Matrices and Potential Ecological Risks

Microplastics
Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern in coastal ecosystems, particularly in developing regions. However, research remains compartmentalized, limiting an integrated understanding of microplastic distribution, transport dynamics, and

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Cellular Toxicity of Short‐ and Long‐Term Exposures to Polystyrene Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Fish Skin Cell Derived From Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitous presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) is raising concerns about their impact on the health of humans and other living organisms. Due to its tiny size, this particle can accumulate and circulate in the body after uptake, resulting in a variety of harmful outcomes on the organism, such as increased oxidative stress and

Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Ingestion of Microplastics in Edible Beach Invertebrates in Vietnam

Microplastics
Analyzing microplastics in marine organisms is essential for understanding the ecological and toxicological impacts of marine microplastic pollution in coastal food webs. This study investigated microplastic ingestion in three edible invertebrate species

Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Chemically and Mechanically Recyclable Polyolefins Incorporating Covalent Adaptable Networks

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Low‐molecular‐weight polypropylene is converted into a crosslinked polyolefin containing a covalently adaptable network. The semicrystalline material remains melt‐processable and mechanically recyclable. Its thermal and mechanical properties are comparable to commercial polyolefins.

Microplastics in the surface water of urban lakes in central Vietnam: Pollution level, characteristics, and ecological risk assessment

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
Information on microplastic pollution in lentic systems is scarce in many Asian countries, including Vietnam. This study investigated the status and characteristics of microplastic pollution in seven urban lakes in Da Nang City, Vietnam.

Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...
