The presence of plastic debris in the ocean is increasing and several effects in the marine environment have been reported.
Following a decade of research on the environmental impacts of microplastics, a knowledge gap remains on the processes by which micro and nanoplastics pass across biological barriers, enter cells and
Microplastics (MP) (
Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise.
The quantification of micro- and nanoplastics in environmental matrices is an analytical challenge and pushes to the use of unrealistic high exposure concentrations in laboratory studies which can lea
Using a consumption-based Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model, we investigate the distinctive characteristics, self-efficiency or external dependency, of energy demand's water footprint in China'
The world food price crisis in 2007/08 has aroused worldwide attention to the global food price volatility and food self-sufficiency issues.
The current paper critically reviews the state-of-the-science on (1) microplastics (MP) types and particle concentrations in freshwater ecosystems, (2) MP and nanoplastics (NP) uptake and tissue trans
Microplastics are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all environmental compartments.
Plastics entering the environment will persist and continue to degrade and fragment to smaller particles under the action of various environmental factors.
