Abstract Although microplastics are ubiquitous in today’s natural environments, our understanding of the materials, quantities, and particle sizes involved remains limited. The recovery from different types environmental matrices requires standardized matrix digestion protocols that allow inter-laboratory comparisons have no effect on polymers themselves. A number commonly used methods rely oxi...

Plastic pollution on land and in oceans is currently a pressing environmental issue. The accumulation of waste has caused severe, irreversible impacts consequences marine life, ecosystems, the environment due to lack good collection, treatment, management systems. Limited resources infrastructure constantly challenge Southeast Asia. Therefore, we will examine current plastic situation issues As...

Microplastic particles are global pollutants which have been measured in drinking water, dust, and some food items. Concerns about population exposures the resulting risks to human health increasing. Because gut can be considered one of primary sites for microplastic exposure body, here, we explore possible impact ingested on gastrointestinal ecology, providing evidence their active role as a d...

Abstract A total of 8218 pelagic microplastic samples from the world’s oceans were synthesized to create a dataset composed raw, calibrated, processed, and gridded data which are made available public. The raw abundance obtained by different research projects using surface net tows or continuous seawater intake. Fibrous microplastics removed calibrated dataset. Microplastic fluctuates due verti...

Microplastic particles, as a second-phase material in ice, may contribute to the effect such particles have on melting and rheological behaviour of glaciers, thus influence future meltwater contribution oceans rising sea levels. Hence, it is utmost importance map understand presence dispersal microplastics global scale. In this work, we identified microplastic snow cores collected remote pristi...
