Environmental Microplastic Particles vs. Engineered Plastic Microparticles—A Comparative Review

Environmental Microplastic Particles vs. Engineered Plastic Microparticles—A Comparative Review

Microplastic particles (MPs) pose a novel threat to nature. Despite being first noticed in the 1970s, research on this topic has only surged in recent years. Researchers have mainly focused on environmental plastic particles; however, studies with defined microplastic particles as the sample input a...
