Selective transport of microplastics and mesoplastics by drifting in coastal waters

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
The quantity and size distributions of small plastic fragments in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan were investigated using field surveys and a numerical particle-tracking model. The model was used to interpret the distributions of small plastic fragments and the possible transport processes in coastal waters.

Microplastics and mesoplastics in fish from coastal and fresh waters of China

Environmental Pollution, 2017
Plastic pollution is a growing global concern. In the present study, we investigated plastic pollution in 21 species of sea fish and 6 species of freshwater fish from China. All of the species were found to ingest micro- or mesoplastics. The average abundance of microplastics varied from 1.1 to 7.2 items by individual and 0.2-17.2 items by gram.

A personal reflection of mesoplasticity and its applications

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2005
Abstract A personal account is given in this paper on the development of mesoplasticity from the author's perspectives and that of his research group. Why am I interested? What is mesoplasticity? What kind of problems could be solved? How did I solve them? What are the joys and delights coming from all this research?

Factors that influence the migration of sorbed pesticides in polyethylene and biodegradable mesoplastics

Environmental Pollution
Trifluralin, Chlorpyrifos, and Procymidone migration performance from polyethylene (PE) and biodegradable (Mater-Bi: M-B) mulching films was examined. Desorption of pesticides from PE and M-B was studied using soil-plastic microcosms, considering temperature, soil humidity, and mulching film type as experimental variables.

Methodological Assessment of Macro- and Mesoplastics Pollution in Rivers

Globally, plastic pollution in aquatic environments has been considered one of the major contemporary environmental challenges. Even though environmental effects associated with plastic pollution have been largely known, research on plastic concentrations mainly focuses on the marine environment.
