TL;DR: A capillary review of the literature on micro and nanoplastic exposure pathways and their potential risk to human health to summarize current knowledge with the intention of better focus future research in this area and fill knowledge gaps.

TL;DR: This work critically presents their advantages and disadvantages, suggesting a site-specific and accurate evaluation for choosing the best available recovering technology for chromium removal.

TL;DR: A statistically significant difference in the average microplastic concentrations in different campaigns of this study has been observed, suggesting thus a temporal variation in plastic abundances, which could be explained by the hydrology of the river that influences the particle concentration with its physical forces such as flow velocity, water level and seasonal variability.

TL;DR: In this article, the current knowledge concerning poorly known diffuse sources of MPs pollution in terrestrial ecosystems have been considered in this work and a particular focus on the presence, mechanism of absorption and effects of MPs in plants has also been provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a complete collection and analysis of procedures concerning the monitoring of microplastics in riverine environments, focusing on their sampling and analytical protocols to identify, quantify, and characterise them.
