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...
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...
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...
Microplastic (MP) research faces challenges due to costly, time-consuming, and error-prone analysis techniques. Additionally, the variability in data quality across studies limits their comparability. This study addresses the critical need for reliab...
The accumulation of polyethylene microplastic (PE-MPs) in soil can significantly impact plant quality and yield, as well as affect human health and food chain cycles. Therefore, developing rapid and effective detection methods is crucial. In this stu...
The rising prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in various ecosystems has increased the demand for advanced detection and mitigation strategies. This review examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with environmental science to improve m...
In the field of microplastics (MPs) toxicity prediction, machine learning (ML) computer simulation techniques are showing great potential. In this study, six ML algorithms were utilized to predict the toxicity of MPs on BEAS-2B cells based on quantit...
Microplastics (MPs) have the potential to adsorb heavy metals (HMs), resulting in a combined pollution threat in aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, due to the complexity of MP/HM properties and experimental conditions, research on the ads...
