Microplastics are tiny plastic particles originating from both commercial product manufacturing and the degradation of larger plastic materials. These particles pose significant risks to environmental and animal health. A growing body of evidence hig...
Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly viewed as a serious threat to waterways. However, little is known about the effects of land use and rainfall patterns on the occurrence and distribution of MPs in the river sediments. Herein, the MP polluti...
Nanoplastics (NPs) are widespread in ecosystems, and their biohazards are of increasing concern. The hazards posed by NPs to aquatic and terrestrial plants as well as to aquatic animals have been extensively studied; however, their impact on mammals ...
Understanding microplastics' (MPs) ecological impact necessitates their precise identification. To address the issue of the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) algorithm extracting numerous feature wavenumber points (FWPs) that often miss...
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...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a pervasive environmental pollutant due to their persistence and global distribution. However, MPs relationships with covariables remain largely unexplored. This study investigates factors influencing MPs occurrenc...
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...

The surface chemistry of nanomaterials, particularly the density of functional groups, governs their behavior in applications such as bioanalysis, bioimaging, and environmental impact studies. Here, we report a precise method to quantify carboxyl gro...
Microplastic mitigation strategies that adapt to various actual aquatic environments require the ability to predict their microbial degradation potential. However, the sources and enrichment characteristics of the degrading bacteria in the plastisphe...
The widespread use of plastic agricultural films necessitates a thorough evaluation of environmental risks posed by soil microplastics (MPs). While the intestinal tract is a critical site for MP interactions in soil organisms, current research predom...
