Microplastic Research Publications from 1991 to 2020
Summary
A bibliometric analysis catalogued 30 years (1991–2020) of microplastic research publications, mapping the growth of the field, dominant research themes, geographic hotspots, and polymer types most studied. The rapid acceleration of research output underscores the scientific community's growing recognition that microplastic contamination poses a significant and undercharacterized threat to environmental and human health.
Microplastics as emerging pollutants receive global attention and growing research interests. We report a bibliometric analysis of microplastics-related research from 1991 to 2020. 4026 documents were collected and analyzed for occurrence and types of microplastics,...
