Microplastic (MP) contamination is a notable environmental challenge affecting marine ecosystems. However, its repercussions on the reproductive success of sea turtles remain inadequately elucidated. ...
Microplastics contamination in seafood has emerged as a growing concern for environmental exposure and food safety. This study characterizes microplastics in commercially harvested Penaeus indicus fro...
Plastic pollution has become a significant concern for marine environments with adverse effects on critical ecosystems such as coral reefs. Marine plastic litter items transform into new variants afte...
Fish is widely recognized as a valuable source of high-quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential micronutrients. However, these nutritional benefits are increasingly compromised by marine p...
Microplastic (MP) contamination of the open ocean is well documented, yet the vertical structuring of MPs and the role of water masses in shaping deep-water inventories remain poorly resolved along th...
Marine litter, particularly plastic pollution, poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Sea turtles are especially vulnerable to plastic ingestion due to their feeding behaviour and migratory ...
The use of microplastics in offshore oil and gas activities could be substantial. However, systematic understanding of the occurrence patterns and ecological risks of microplastics within platform dis...
Pollution in pristine ecosystems is a high concern according that this research evaluates the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in marine sediments from Mackellar and Martel Inlets in Admiralty Bay, K...
This study provides a detailed, bi-seasonal analysis of microplastic (MP) distribution in Kuakata's coastal region, which is influenced by both terrestrial and marine pollution sources. The research d...
Predicting the fate of microplastics (MPs) in the environment and assessing their potential environmental hazard is crucial in defining effective mitigation strategies. This paper presents a novel app...
Global plastic production surpassed 436 million metric tonnes in 2023, with polyolefins, polyethylene and polypropylene, and polyesters, polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene adipate terephthala...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging contaminants in deep-sea ecosystems, yet their specific impacts on the internal heterogeneity of cold seep microbiomes remain poorly understood....
Microplastics (MPs), resulting from plastic objects and waste degradation, are increasingly abundant, particularly in marine environments. They exhibit a hydrophobic surface on which biofilms form eas...
Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to marine biodiversity, and its biological effects may vary with particle size. Early life stages of the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, inhabit c...
As a pervasive form of marine pollution, microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed across coastal and oceanic systems, raising concerns about their ecological impacts. This review provides an evidenc...
Microplastics (MPs) have been increasingly reported in deep-sea sediments, yet their occurrence and hydrodynamic controls in trench environments, particularly those influenced by contemporary turbidit...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
This study investigated the short‑term effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE‑MPs) on the marine mussel Mytilus edulis using a suite of cellular and subcellular biomarkers. A total of 225 mussels w...
The increasing accumulation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste in the environment poses a growing threat to natural ecosystems due to its resistance to degradation. In this study, bacterial isol...
Biodegradation represents a promising strategy for the remediation of marine plastic pollution. Notably, deep-sea cold-seep ecosystems nurture exceptionally abundant microbial hydrocarbon-degrading ba...
