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...
The high loads of heterogeneous microplastics (MPs) in water system sparked the exploration of MPs source and impact in the environment. However, the contributions of driving factors to MPs contamination and the potential risks posed by multidimensio...
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 ...
