Microplastics

Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023
Plastic production has greatly increased in the past decades and has become central to modern human life. Realization is dawning that plastics break down into smaller pieces resulting in micro-or nanoplastics (MNP) that can enter humans directly via the environment. Indeed, MNP have been detected in every part of the human body, including the placenta,

Microplastics ingestions by wild and aquaculture marine bivalves: A systematic review on field investigation study

Sustinere: Journal of Environment and Sustainability, 2023
Plastics degradation has resulted in a major threat to marine organisms, including bivalves. Thirty-three peer-reviewed papers have been reviewed to understand the geographical spread of microplastics ingestion by marine bivalves, characteristics of ...

Assessment of microplastics in discharged treated wastewater and the utility of Chrysaora pentastoma medusae as bioindicators of microplastics

, 2021
Microplastics are ubiquitous pollutants in aquatic environments globally. Wastewater treatment plants are considered to be a major source of microplastics and jellyfish have been proposed as potential bioindicators of microplastic pollution.

Detection of microplastics in human tissues and organs: A scoping review

Journal of Global Health
Background Research on microplastics has largely focused on the environment and marine organisms until recently. A growing body of evidence has detected microplastics in human organs and tissues, with their exact entry routes being unclear and their ...

Analysis of Slow-Released Fertilisers as a Source of Microplastics

Land
One of the main strategies for improving the efficiency of agricultural production is the use of fertilisers with slow or controlled release of nutrients, in which the granules of mineral fertilisers are covered with polymeric shells.
