Environmental contamination of microplastics (MPs) is ubiquitous worldwide, and co-contamination of arable soils with MPs and other pollutants is of increasing concern, and may lead to unexpected consequences on crop production. However, the overall ...
Plastic pollution, driven by micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), poses a major environmental threat, exposing humans through various routes. Despite human colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells being used as an in vitro model for studying the intestinal ...
The aging process of microplastics (MPs) affects their surface physicochemical properties, thereby influencing their behaviors in releasing harmful chemicals, adsorption of organic contaminants, sinking, and more. Understanding the aging process is c...
With the rapid expansion of microplastic research and reliance on semantic descriptors, there is an increasing need for plastic pollution data harmonization. Data standards have been developed but are seldom implemented across research sectors, geogr...
Microalgae can produce secondary metabolites like phycoerythrin (Phy). The effects of some microplastics (MPs), wastewater (WW), and light intensity (LI) parameters, including complex data sets, on Phy concentration from Porphyridium cruentum were in...
Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) and heavy metals (HMs) coexist worldwide. Existing studies have reported different or even contradictory toxic effects of co-exposure to MNPs and HMs on plants, which may be related to various influencing factors. In this st...

Despite the urgent need for accurate and robust observations of microplastics in the marine environment to assess current and future environmental risks, existing procedures remain labour-intensive, especially for smaller-sized microplastics. In addi...
The emergence of microplastics (MPs) has become a significant focus of environmental pollution, prompting widespread concern regarding its potential toxicity and impact on the environment and organisms. Recent research indicates notable alterations i...
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...
The pervasive presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic systems facilitates the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), thereby posing risks to ecosystems and human well-being. However, owing to variations in environmental backgrounds an...
