Microplastics and their interactions with microbiota
Heliyon, 2023 As a new pollutant, Microplastics (MPs) are globally known for their negative impacts on different ecosystems and living organisms. MPs are easily taken up by the ecosystem in a variety of organisms due to their small size, and cause immunological, neurological, and respiratory diseases in the impacted organism.

The Impact of Microplastics on Global Food Production: A Brief Overview of This Complex Sector
Microplastics, 2023 Environmental pollution management combined with food safety represents two of the main challenges of the last decades. Soil and water contamination has historically threatened food safety.

Ocean emission of microplastic
PNAS Nexus, 2023 Abstract Microplastics are globally ubiquitous in marine environments, and their concentration is expected to continue rising at significant rates as a result of human activity. They present a major ecological problem with well-documented environmental harm.

What is with all the plastic garbage everywhere and where does it go? [PDF]
, 2020 Despite countless efforts in recycling, awareness, and limited legislation, plastic pollution has continued to spiral out of control due to massive production/use and the inability to naturally decompose.

Microplastics in the surgical environment
Environment International, 2022 Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently detected within indoor and outdoor air samples. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. The aim was to quantify and characterise the MPs present within the surgical environment over a one-week sampling period. MPs were collected in samplers placed around an operating

An improved mathematical model for the sedimentation of microplastic particles in a lid-driven cavity with obstacle [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper, we developed a mathematical model for the sedimentation process of small particles in a lid-driven cavity flow with an obstacle to model the transport of microplastic particles in rivers. A stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes simulation at moderate Reynolds-numbers provides the background flow field.
