Will it float? Rising and settling velocities of common macroplastic foils

ACS ES&T Water, 2021
Plastic accumulates in the environment because of insufficient waste handling and the materials' high durability. Better understanding of plastic behaviour in the aquatic environment is needed to estimate transport and accumulation, which can be used for monitoring strategies, prevention measures, and plastic clean-up activities.

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...

Persistent macroplastics in the stomach contents of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758) on the northern coast of Peru

Revista Peruana de Biología
This study analyses the diet composition and macroplastic ingestion in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from Sechura Bay, northern Peru, based on digestive tract samples collected during two periods: 2001–2004 and 2013–2014.

Impact of Mangrove Forest Structure and Landscape on Macroplastics Capture

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
Des réseaux complexes de racines et de troncs hors sol font que les forêts de mangroves piègent les déchets plastiques. Nous avons testé la relation entre les macroplastiques et la biomasse des arbres, l'abondance des racines, la géomorphologie des mangroves et la proximité de l'embouchure des rivières, en étudiant les marges terrestres et maritimes de

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Analysis of macroplastic transport in a river regulated by groynes [PDF]

, 2023
The transport of buoyant macroplastic litter in the presence of concrete groynes and vegetation in a straight channel was investigated. Four variants of channel configuration were tested during laboratory measurements. Water velocity fields were measured

A Global Review of Microplastic Contamination in Groundwater: Empirical Evidence and Latin American Perspectives

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of microplastics (MPs) in groundwater has emerged as a significant concern due to their environmental impact and the threat they pose to vital water resources, groundwater being one of the most important freshwater sources in the world.

Rivers as Plastic Reservoirs

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Land-based plastic waste, carried to the sea through rivers, is considered a main source of marine plastic pollution. However, most plastics that leak into the environment never make it into the ocean.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...
