Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Mar 14, 2025
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) 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 are widely distributed in the environment and pose potential hazards to organisms. However, our understanding of the transgenerational effects of microplastics on terrestrial organisms remains limited. In this study, we focused on the m...
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...

As microplastic (MP) particles continue to spread globally, their pervasive presence is increasingly problematic. Analyzing MPs in matrices as varied as soil, river water, and biosolid fertilizers is critical, as these matrices directly impact the fo...
Microplastic (MP) pollution poses serious environmental and public health concerns, requiring efficient detection methods. Conventional techniques have the limitations of labor-intensive workflows and complex instrumentation, hindering rapid on-site ...
Microplastics (MPs) easily migrate into deeper soil layers, posing potential risks to subterranean habitats and groundwater. However, the mechanisms governing the vertical migration of MPs in soil, particularly aged MPs, remain unclear. In this study...
Microplastics (MPs) pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health due to their persistence and widespread distribution. This paper provides a comprehensive review of sampling methods for MPs in aquatic environments, soils, and biological sa...
