Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Identifying and quantifying microplastics in the environment is fundamental to develop effective mitigation strategies. So far, microplastic research has focused on marine environments and large streams. However, smaller rivers, often adjacent to waste sources as agricultural areas and waste water...Read more

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water is an indicator of the increase of human impacts on the Earth. In this study, water of the channels and ponds that conduct a mix of surface water and treated wastewater in two cities of Saudi Arabia were assessed to ascertain the influence of the...Read more
