Themed Issue: Microplastic pollution in the environment

Microplastic pollution in the environment has become a global challenge recently, refers to the widespread presence of tiny plastic particles, typically less than 5 millimeters in size. These particles originate from various sources, including degradation of larger plastics, synthetic fibers and industrial processes, and can cause ecosystem damage, affect the food chain and even threaten human health. In this topic, we can discuss about the detection, degradation and recycling of microplastics based on advanced materials and chemical engineering, which are expected to contribute to the governance of microplastic pollution as well as sustainable chemical technologies.

 

Currently, the discussion of microplastics has become a hot topic around the world, and the number of reviews or research articles published on this subject has continued to grow. Up to October 2024, about 14,000 articles related to microplastics have been indexed on the web of science, of which about 6,000 are from 2023 and 2024.

 

Topics to be covered:

detection, degradation and recycling of microplastics

advanced materials and chemical engineering

governance of microplastic pollution

sustainable chemical technologies
