Quantifying anthropogenic microparticle contamination in cave sediments: spatial heterogeneity matters Open
Anthropogenic microparticle pollution is a pervasive phenomenon affecting even remote environments, such as natural caves. Despite potential impacts on these fragile and valuable underground ecosystems, data on microparticle concentration …

High-Mountain Contamination: Microplastic Occurrence and Risk Assessments in Fish from Nero Lake, Italy Open
Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental concern, yet its occurrence in remote high-mountain ecosystems remains poorly understood. This study investigated MP contamination in fish from Nero Lake, an alpine lake in northwest…

Sublethal effects of road dust particles in the yellow mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor Open
High-traffic areas generate road dusts (RD) including tyre road wear particles (TRWPs), a significant source of microplastics in the environment. These particles, which persist in sediments, soil, and vegetation, can adsorb pollutants such…

The Effect of Tyre and Road Wear Particles on the Terrestrial Isopod Armadillidium pallasii Open
(1) Car tyre microplastic particles (TMPs) significantly contribute to global microplastic pollution, with an estimated annual production of 6 million tonnes. However, the impact of TMPs, particularly tyre and road wear particles (TRWPs), …

Eco-Friendly Detergent Based on Exhausted Edible Vegetable Oils: Impact on Marine and Freshwater Environments, a Case Study Focusing on SARS-CoV-2 Open
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern due to the rapid spread among humans, on a global scale, of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Although internationa…

The First Evidence of the Water Bioremediation Potential of Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel 1923): From Threat to Resource? Open
Each year, a staggering 700,000 tons of synthetic dyes are manufactured globally, leading to the release of dye-laden wastewater into aquatic systems. These synthetic dyes resist biodegradation, endangering human and environmental health. …
View article: Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Black Locust) Leaflets as Biomonitors of Airborne Microplastics
Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Black Locust) Leaflets as Biomonitors of Airborne Microplastics Open
Here we investigate the suitability of Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust) leaflets as a novel biomonitor of airborne microplastics (MPs) including tyre wear particles (TWPs). Leaflets were collected from rural roadside locations (ROs, …

Looking for Nano- and Microplastics in Meiofauna Using Advanced Methodologies Open
Meiofauna (body size within 30–1000 µm) are the community of microscopic invertebrates that live at the bottom of marine and freshwater ecosystems and play a key role in the food webs of these environments. Several studies have addressed t…
