Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 The emerging issue of microplastic pollution of agricultural soils derives from the intensive utilization of plastic mulching film. Although surface runoff may transport microplastic off-site, infiltration may also facilitate microplastic transport from ...

Nature Communications, 2023 The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression could also affect a species’ risk of contaminant uptake.

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata)
Water Biology and Security, 2023 The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota may interact.

Nanoplastics: From tissue accumulation to cell translocation into Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocytes. resilience of immune cells exposed to nanoplastics and nanoplastics plus Vibrio splendidus combination [PDF]
, 2020 Plastic litter is an issue of global concern. In this work Mytilus galloprovincialis was used to study the distribution and effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) of different sizes (50 nm, 100 nm and 1 mu m) on immune cells.

The effects of trophic transfer and environmental factors on microplastic uptake by plaice, Pleuronectes plastessa, and spider crab, Maja squinado [PDF]
, 2018 Microplastic pollution is apparent throughout the marine environment from deep ocean sediments to coastal habitats. Most of this is believed to originate on land, although marine activities, such as fishing and shipping, also contribute to the release ...

Is the Hyporheic Zone Relevant beyond the Scientific Community? [PDF]
, 2019 Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding sediments along the river network. We elaborate on the main physical, biological,

MethodsX, 2020 Microplastics (MPs) were identified as one of the major environmental threats. The work plastic comes form the Greek term plastikos, which means that it can remain shaped in various systems. Global plastic production did hit approximately 348 million tonnes in 2017, being China the largest producer responsible of 27% of worlwide pollution.

Microplastics in the Antarctic marine system: An emerging area of research [PDF]
, 2017 It was thought that the Southern Ocean was relatively free of microplastic contamination; however, recent studies and citizen science projects in the Southern Ocean have reported microplastics in deep-sea sediments and surface waters.
