Co-liquefaction of Macroalgae with Common Marine Plastic Pollutants [PDF]
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2019 Macroalgal blooms are environmentally problematic and costly to remediate, but they also represent a vast untapped resource for the production of renewable chemicals and fuels. The responsible exploitation of such marine resources will become increasingly prominent in the transition away from the crude oil economy that currently dominates global ...

A coupled model for the linked dynamics of marine pollution by microplastics and plastic-related organic pollutants [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The pervasiveness of microplastics in global oceans is raising concern about its impacts on organisms. While quantifying its toxicity is still an open issue, sampling evidence has shown that rarely is marine microplastics found clean; rather, it is often contaminated by other types of chemical pollutants, some known to be harmful to biota and humans ...

Addressing Marine Plastic Pollution
The International Journal of Social Quality, 2018 Plastic pollution has become a pressing environmental problem. An increasing mass of plastic products ends up in oceans and landfills. One international grassroots organization—the Plastic Soup Foundation (PSF)—tries to influence politics and policies of governments and businesses that can be held responsible for this pollution.
