Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastics (MPs) extraction from sediment, sand and soil samples is a challenge that the scientific community is facing nowadays; currently there are no standardized and validated protocols and the most common methods rely on density separation techniques, often unable to separate high density...Read more
Extent and distribution of microplastic contamination in the benthic sediment of Turag river in Bangladesh

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Microplastics are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. However, a limited number of studies have been conducted on the quantification of accumulated microplastics in benthic sediments of freshwater bodies, which pose threat to the health of benthic communities through food chain contamination...Read more

Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more
