Micro- and nanoplastic pollution of freshwater and wastewater treatment systems [PDF]

, 2017
Plastic waste is a widespread and persistent global challenge with negative impacts on the environment, economy, human health and aesthetics. Plastic pollution has been a focus of environmental research over the past few decades, particularly in relation

Macroplastic deposition and flushing in the Meuse river following the July 2021 European floods

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Rivers play an important role in the macroplastics transport and retention dynamics in the environment. Therefore, gaining an understanding of these processes is vital in order to help determine the fate of macroplastic in the environment.

Plastic Pollution Research in Indonesia: State of Science and Future Research Directions to Reduce Impacts

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Several studies have suggested Indonesia to be among the top plastic polluting countries globally. Data on the presence and amounts of plastic pollution are required to help design effective plastic reduction and mitigation strategies.

Estimation of Temperature Conductivity Coefficient Impact upon Fatigue Damage of Material [PDF]

, 2015
In the paper we consider the peculiarities of adhesive wear of cutting tools. Simulation of heat flows in the cutting zone showed that, as thermal conduction and heat conductivity of tool material grow, the heat flows from the front and back surfaces to ...

Towards Underwater Macroplastic Monitoring Using Echo Sounding

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Plastics originating from land are mainly transported to the oceans by rivers. The total plastic transport from land to seas remains uncertain because of difficulties in measuring and the lack of standard observation techniques.

The effects of trophic transfer and environmental factors on microplastic uptake by plaice, Pleuronectes plastessa, and spider crab, Maja squinado [PDF]

, 2018
Microplastic pollution is apparent throughout the marine environment from deep ocean sediments to coastal habitats. Most of this is believed to originate on land, although marine activities, such as fishing and shipping, also contribute to the release ...

Microplastic ingestion ubiquitous in marine turtles [PDF]

, 2018
Despite concerns regarding the environmental impacts of microplastics, knowledge of the incidence and levels of synthetic particles in large marine vertebrates is lacking.

Macroplastic in Seabirds at Mirny, Antarctica [PDF]

Birds, 2020
Plastic debris makes up the majority of marine debris around the world, and pollution is a serious threat to marine wildlife. Threats represent two types of biological interactions with plastic: entanglement and ingestion. This paper describes interactions of seabirds with plastic in Mirny and draw the attention of researchers to the existing problem ...
