The Economics of Marine Plastic Pollution

2021
Ubiquitous marine plastic pollution has become a prominent ecological issue, as it provokes implications that threaten marine species, induces health concerns, and causes vast economic damages. The complex dynamics behind its pervasive occurrence are multipronged and multidimensional, and simple clear-cut causal chains cannot always be identified ...

Human Behaviour and Marine Plastic Pollution

2022
This chapter summarizes the human dimension in plastic pollution, with a particular focus on human behavior and its determinants. It reviews antecedents of behavior such as risk perception, motivation and social norms. The chapter presents the early results of a scoping review of recent behavior change interventions. Why individuals behave the way they

The politics of marine plastics pollution

2019
This chapter tries to highlight the complex politics behind the urgent issue of marine plastics pollution. Understanding the political economy of global and local plastic value chains and questions about sources of plastic waste will be crucial to solve marine plastics pollution. The chapter looks at the domestic political dynamics of the UK which have

Phthalate Ester Plasticizers: A New Class of Marine Pollutant

Science, 1978
Phthalate ester plasticizers have been detected in the open-ocean environment. Samples consisting of water, sediment, air, and biota from the Gulf of Mexico and of water and air from the North Atlantic were analyzed and found to contain two phthalate esters, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di- n -dibutyl ...
