The assessment, quantification, and study of the degradation processes of plastic debris in the ecosystem and its interaction with biota have been and are still the focus of intense multidisciplinary research. Plastic particles in the range from 1 to 5 mm and those in the sub-micrometer range are commonly denoted as microplastics and nanoplastics, respectively. Microplastics (MPs) are being recognized as nearly ubiquitous pollutants in water bodies, but their actual concentration, distribution, and effects on natural waters, sediments, and biota are still largely unknown. Contamination by microplastics of agricultural soil and other environmental areas is also becoming a matter of concern. Sampling, separation, detection, characterization and evaluating the degradation pathways of micro- and nano-plastic pollutants dispersed in the environment is a challenging and critical goal to understand their distribution, fate, and the related hazards for ecosystems. Given the interest in this topic, this Special Issue, entitled ?Microplastics Degradation and Characterization?, is concerned with the latest developments in the study of microplastics. 606 $aMathematics & science$2bicssc 606 $aChemistry$2bicssc 606 $aQuantum & theoretical chemistry$2bicssc 610 $aPEEK 610 $aSIRM 610 $adamage mechanisms 610 $aGISAXS 610 $airradiation 610 $amicro and nanoplastics 610 $afreshwater 610 $asludge 610 $aoptical detection 610 $aportable devices 610 $ain situ detection 610 $amicroplastics 610 $amarine sediment 610 $apet 610 $anylon 6 610 $anylon 6,6 610 $areversed-phase HPLC 610 $apolyolefin 610 $apolystyrene 610 $aPyr-GC/MS 610 $apolymer degradation 610 $amicroparticles 610 $aPLA 610 $aPBS 610 $aenzymes 610 $aspecificity 610 $athermal profile 610 $aactivation energy 610 $awastewater 610 $aRaman spectroscopy 610 $alaser speckle pattern 610 $atransmittance 610 $asedimentation 610 $aHDPE 610 $amicrobeads 610 $aphotocatalysis 610 $ascavengers 610 $aC,N-TiO2 610 $aremediation 610 $ananotechnology 610 $aplastic pollution 610 $avisible light photodegradation 610 $amicroplastic 610 $aratiometric detection 610 $ano-wash fluorescent probe 610 $aimaging 610 $aone-pot reaction 610 $awater remediation 610 $ananoplastic 610 $aartificial ageing 610 $apolyolefins 610 $apolyethylene terephthalate 610 $amicroplastic fiber 610 $awashing textile 610 $adrying textile 610 $apolyester yarn types 610 $amicroplastic extraction 610 $aoil extraction 610 $adensity separation 610 $aGC?MS 610 $amass spectrometry identification 610 $aplastic polymers 610 $apolyethylene 610 $aterrestrial 610 $asoil 610 $apolymers 610 $ageotechnics 610 $alandfills 610 $ageosynthetics 610 $aGCL 610 $aclay liner 610 $ahydraulic conductivity 610 $aplastics 610 $aanthropogenic activities 610 $aquantification 610 $amarine 610 $amulti-parametric platform 610 $abioplastics 610 $amarine environment 610 $aspectroscopy 610 $aresin pellets 610 $ananoplastics 610 $amicroplastic detection and identification 610 $amicroplastic quantification 610 $afood packaging 610 $aparticle release 610 $aplastic consumption 610 $aecotoxicity assessment 610 $asize influence 610 $aconcentration influence 610 $amicroplastic pellets 610 $aweathering 610 $adegradation 610 $aYellowness Index 610 $aFourier transform infrared spectroscopy 610 $apersistent organic pollutants 610 $aoxidative digestion 610 $aFenton?s reagent 610 $avirgin 610 $aaged 610 $aSEM 610 $aFTIR 610 $aPAHs 610 $asurface water 610 $achemical composition 610 $aHo Chi Minh City 610 $acement mortars 610 $amunicipal incinerated bottom ash 610 $aPET pellets 610 $ahydrogel 610 $apotassium and sodium polyacrylate 610 $aswelling 610 $aphysicochemical changes in the water 610 $apolymeric nanoparticles 610 $aPortugal 610 $aresin 610 $apharmaceutical 610 $aPVC 610 $apaint 610 $awastewater treatment plant 610 $aSouth China Sea 610 $apollution 610 $aPy-GC/MS 610 $afragmentation and degradation 610 $amechanism 615 7$aMathematics & science 615 7$aChemistry 615 7$aQuantum & theoretical chemistry 700 $aLa Nasa$b Jacopo$4edt$01319285 702 $aLa Nasa$b Jacopo$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619464003321 996 $aMicroplastics Degradation and Characterization$93033699 997 $aUNINA
