The high prevalence and persistence of microplastics (MPs) in pristine habitats along with their accumulation across environmental compartments globally, has become a matter of grave concern. The resi...
Microplastics are extremely complex, and as the food chain comes full circle, it is dreaded that these could have a deleterious influence on humans. Although the risk of plastics to humans is not yet ...
Although studies on microplastics are increasing every year, still very little is known about their toxicity. Especially for plant species, even studies of uptake of microplastics are only few, not to...
Identifying and understanding the potential sources delivering microplastics into the urban water environment is imperative for microplastic pollution control. However, how atmospheric deposition cont...
Microplastics (MPs) are one novel environmental pollutant sized < 5 mm that is ubiquitously present in numerous environmental media and particularly susceptible to interact with various toxic chemical...
Microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments are hard to degrade, easy to transport, and potentially hazardous to biota. Previous studies of MPs in lakes have shown that their deposition is a significa...
The omnipresence of microplastics (MPs) in marine and terrestrial environments as a pollutant of concern is well established and widely discussed in the literature. However, studies on MP contaminatio...
Increasing usage of plastic has led to the deposition of plastic in the environment which later become microplastic, a pollutant of global concern. These polymeric particles affect the ecosystem by in...
Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently detected within indoor and outdoor air samples. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. The aim was to quantify a...
Synthetic polymers (plastics) from fossil resources are produced in large quantities and reach the environment as microplastics due to improper disposal and via various entry routes. This may lead to ...
This article aims to provide a concise overview for dermatologists about this complex topic and how it relates to daily medical practice....
We performed a selective literature review regarding microplastics and sustainability in dermatology in liaison with the collaborative research center on microplastics at the University of Bayreuth....
Primary and secondary microplastics are released into the environment on a large scale and accumulate in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This may lead to their disruption and bears potential to cr...
Plastics are currently indispensable in many fields. Nevertheless, physicians have the responsibility to prevent negative consequences for the health of society (precautionary principle). Extensive ef...
