Passive Retention of Plastic Pellets and Microplastics by Coconut Fiber in a Mangrove-Supporting Floating Island in an Urban Estuary
Plastic pollution is a growing concern in urban estuarine environments, where hydrodynamic conditions and structural features of vegetated habitats can promote the interception and accumulation of plastic debris. This study evaluated the coconut-fiber matrix of a mangrove-based floating island as a…

Pilot Study on Human Exposure to Microplastics in Intraocular Fluids and Bisphenols in Serum: Analytical Detection and Characterisation
The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) and associated plastic-derived compounds, bisphenols (BPs), in the environment—originating from plastic production or adsorption of environmental pollutants—results in unavoidable human exposure. Therefore, assessing their occurrence in human…

Cytotoxic Effects of Carboxyl-Modified Polystyrene Microplastics: Differential Effects on Hepatoma Cells and Immortalized Hepatocytes
Carboxyl-modified polystyrene microplastics (cPS-MPs) may accumulate in the liver and interfere with cellular metabolism; however, their effects may differ substantially between cancerous and non-cancerous hepatocytes. In this study, we compared the responses of HUH-7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells…
