Persistent luminescence materials are compounds able to glow in the dark after proper excitation. After the discovery in the 1990s of the long persistent luminescence in SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ lasting 12 hours, the interest in this class of materials has grown quickly. Today, thousands of compounds are known to possess persistent luminescence, and...

Plastics are synthetic organic compounds whose widespread use generates enormous waste. Different processes, such as mechanical abrasion, microbiological activity, and UVB irradiation, can fragment the plastic material and generate microplastics (MPs). MPs are ubiquitous, and various organisms, including humans, can ingest or inhale them, with...
