New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.Plastics are a known but inconsistently researched challenge to Aotearoa New Zealand's inland freshwater systems. Understanding plastic origins, movement, and removal options for individual water bodies can enhance management efforts. This exploratory study quantified meso‐ and macroplastics entering Lake Rotorua through stormwater streams and assessed

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 387-398, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils

Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT In general, plastic pollution results from the unintentional release of macroplastic materials into the environment as well as the deliberate production and usage of small plastic particles (micro‐ and nano‐sized plastic particles) in a variety of consumer products micro and nanoplastics in filtrate freshwater and marine environments because ...

Why is single‐use plastic still in the conservation sector toolbox?
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 448-460, December 2025.ABSTRACT Microplastic residue left in the environment from plastic chewcards in three pest mammal monitoring operations was estimated at an average of 15% of the starting weight. This finding highlight the issue of single‐use plastics within New Zealand’s (NZ) conservation sector.

Microplastic, an Emerging Threat to the Global Seagrass Ecosystems: A Review
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Fall 2025.ABSTRACT Seagrass, a type of marine plant that grows into meadows in intertidal zones and shallow coastal waters, can contribute to numerous ecological and economic benefits. Benefits include carbon sequestration, habitat for marine species, coastal protection, and raw materials for medicines and fertilizer production.

Competition between mesoplasticity and damage under HCF – Elasticity/damage shakedown concept [PDF]
International Journal of Fatigue, 2007 The aim of this paper is to present new modelling dedicated to multiaxial high cycle fatigue (HCF), and applied to polycrystalline metals. The model presented is based on the experimental characterization of damage during HCF tests, under pure tension and torsion modes.

Micro- and mesoplastics in sea surface water from a Northern Adriatic coastal area
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022 The presence of microplastics in the sea is a global issue widely studied and discussed in the last years. The whole marine ecosystem is now considered at high risk because of their presence and abundance in every studied environment all over the world because polymeric materials commonly constitute the main raw materials in contemporary industrial ...
