Abstract:
... Over the past decades, the plastic production has been dramatically increased. Indeed, a category of small plastic particles mainly with the shapes of fragments, fibers, or spheres, called microplastics (particles smaller than 5 mm) and nanoplastics (particles smaller than 1 µm) have attracted particular attention. Because of its wide distribution in the environment and potential adverse effects t ...
