Research progress on microplastics pollution in polar oceans
, 2023 Microplastics pollution in the oceans has become a new environmental threat in recent years. Microplastics have been found even in remote polar sea areas, including in water, sediment, sea ice, marine snow, and marine organisms in polar sea areas.

Microplastics in Sewage Sludge of Wastewater Treatment
, 2023 Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been regarded as vital sinks and sources of microplastics from urban waters to the environment. Microplastics could be removed and migrated to the sewage sludge in the WWTPs.

Wastewater treatment alters microbial colonization of microplastics.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic habitats globally, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are point sources of microplastics. Within aquatic habitats microplastics are colonized by microbial biofilms, which can include pathogenic ...

A Rapid Method for Detecting Microplastics Based on Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Technology (FLIM)
Toxics, 2022 With the increasing use and release of plastic products, microplastics have rapidly accumulated in ecological environments. When microplastics enter the food chain, they cause serious harm to organisms and humans.
