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.
This review provides insight into the abundance, origin, distribution and composition of MPs in the sea surface and water column of the Mediterranean Sea.

Food waste is a great problem nowadays; while many people are starving around the world, tons of food is wasted every day.
Water resources are an essential and determining factor for food production, ecosystem health, and socio-economic development. The socio–economic water cycling system is a complex adaptive system.
This review discusses the identification and quantification of microplastic (MP) using Raman microspectroscopy (RM). It addresses scientists investigating MP in environmental and food samples.
The Mediterranean Sea is affected by one of the most significant plastic pollution worldwide.
Explore in-depth analysis on microplastic pollution in soil, its ecological risks, and innovative analytical methods for managing this emerging challenge.
Microplastics pollution in aquatic ecosystems has aroused increasing global concern, leading to an explosive growth of studies regarding microplastics published in the past few years.
