Microplastic and mesoplastic contamination in canned sardines and sprats

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
No report was found on the occurrence of microplastics in processed seafood products that are manufactured for direct human consumption. This study investigates the potential presence of micro- and mesoplastics in 20 brands of canned sardines and sprats originating from 13 countries over 4 continents followed by their chemical composition determination

Field management changes the distribution of mesoplastic and macroplastic in Mollisols of Northeast China

Chemosphere, 2022
Mesoplastic (MaP) and macroplastic (MeP) coming from plastic mulching tend to cause negative effects on biota in ecosystems. However, it is still not clear how field management influences the distribution of MeP/MaP in soils. In this study, MeP/MaP was investigated in 0-20 and 20-30 cm soil layers of three vegetable fields (3.4-6.5 ha) after 13 years ...

Microplastic and mesoplastic pollution in farmland soils in suburbs of Shanghai, China

Environmental Pollution, 2018
Microplastics are emerging pollutants which have been extensively detected in water environments. However, little is known about microplastic pollution in soil environments. In this study, we investigated microplastics and mesoplastics in farmland soils from twenty vegetable fields around the suburbs of Shanghai.

Differentiating macroplastic and mesoplastic pollution on relatively clean beaches of central Philippines

Marine Environmental Research
Marine plastic litter exposed to different environmental conditions have the tendency to break and produce smaller plastic debris that threatens marine organism, tourism, livelihood, and health. However, our understanding on the distribution of different sizes of marine plastic litter in marine environments is still limited.

Micro- and mesoplastic pollution along the coast of Peru

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Peru suffers from poor solid waste and coastal management, as well as evidenced plastic pollution in various forms. However, studies in Peru focusing on small plastic debris (i.e., meso- and microplastics) are still limited and inconclusive. Thus, the present study investigated the abundance, characteristics, seasonality, and distribution of small ...

Methodology and applications of mesoplasticity in manufacturing sciences

International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1993
Abstract The studies on plasticity have been conventionally divided into two categories, namely macroplasticity and microplasticity. Mesoplasticity emerges as a link between these two schools which introduces the essential microplasticity concepts to various intermediate (or meso-) scales, and represents the connection between the continuum-based ...

Identification and quantification of additive-derived chemicals in beached micro–mesoplastics and macroplastics

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
Although marine plastic debris are expected to retain various chemical additives, little is known about the additives that are retained. We conducted a screening analysis of additives in 261 macroplastic and micro-mesoplastic debris from two beaches.

Sorption behaviors of phenanthrene, nitrobenzene, and naphthalene on mesoplastics and microplastics

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
The occurrence of plastic particles in aquatic environment has led to enormous concern in the past few years. The sorption behaviors of harmful organic compounds by plastic particles can increase their concentrations by several orders of magnitude influencing their global transport in the marine environment.
