The role of titanium dioxide on the behaviour and fate of plastics in the aquatic environment
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2023-04-15)Although titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most widely used pigment in plastics, there is limited quantitative information available for consumer goods and environmental samples. Moreover, and despite its photocatalytic ... -
Entrainment and horizontal atmospheric transport of microplastics from soil
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-05)Soils are an important source of microplastics (MPs) to the atmosphere but the fluxes and mechanisms involved in MPs entrainment are not well understood. In the present study, a series of horizontally aligned sediment ... -
Resuspension of microplastics and microrubbers in a semi-arid urban environment (Shiraz, Iran)
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-01-01)Although airborne urban particles are a concern for air quality and human health, little information exists on the levels and characteristics of microplastics (MPs) and microrubbers (MRs) in this setting. In the present ... -
