Airborne microplastics (MPs) pose significant respiratory and systemic health risks upon inhalation; however, current assessment methods remain inadequate. This study integrates breathomics and transcriptomics to establish a non-invasive approach for...
Microplastics (MPs) present significant challenges for anaerobic digestion (AD) processes used in energy recovery from contaminated organic waste. Given that optimal AD conditions vary widely across studies when MPs are present, a robust predictive m...
Concerns about the negative impacts of microplastics on human health are increasing in society, while exposure and risk assessments require high-quality, reliable data. Although quality assurance and -control (QA/QC) frameworks exist to evaluate the ...
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and have various characteristics. However, their impacts on bacterial community functions in lakes remain elusive. In this study, we identified 33 different MPs features including their abundance, shape, color, size...
Microplastics (MPs) can adsorb antibiotics (ATs) to cause combined pollution in the environment. Research on this topic has been limited to specific types of MPs and ATs, resulting in inconsistent findings, particularly for the influencing factors an...
Airborne microplastics (AMPs) are prevalent in both indoor and outdoor environments, posing potential health risks to humans. Automating the process of identifying potential particles in micrographs can significantly enhance the research and monitori...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) present formidable global environmental challenges with serious risks to human health and ecosystem sustainability. Despite their significance, the accurate assessment of environmental MP and NP pollution re...
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health, necessitating a structured evaluation framework. This study applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize five major marine pollution sourc...
The marine environment is grappling with microplastic (MP) pollution, necessitating an understanding of its distribution patterns, influencing factors, and potential ecological risks. However, the vast area of the ocean and budgetary constraints make...
Research on nanoplastic (NP) toxicity and their "carrier effects" on human health remains nascent, especially for real-time, in situ monitoring of metabolic reactions in live cells. Herein, we developed smart surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS...
