DOI: 10.1080/10408444.2021.2024495
Abstract: Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are regarded as emerging particulate contaminants. Here, we first summarize the distribution of plastic particles in fish. Field investigations verify the presence of various kinds of fibrous, spherical, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020193
Abstract: Micro- and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are among the most widely distributed pollutants in the environment. It has been suggested that exposure to MPs/NPs can trigger toxicity pathways among which inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) play a… read more here.
