Combined Approaches to Predict Microplastic Emissions Within an Urbanized Estuary (Warnow, Southwestern Baltic Sea)

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Microplastic river emissions are known to be one of the major sources for marine microplastic pollution. Especially urbanized estuaries localized at the land-sea interface and subjected to microplastic emissions from various sources exhibit a high ...

Irrigation-facilitated low-density polyethylene microplastic vertical transport along soil profile: An empirical model developed by column experiment

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 ...

Microplastic occurrence in fish species from the Iquitos region in Peru, western Amazonia [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2023
The contamination of aquatic environments by microplastic has become a major threat to biodiversity. The presence of microplastic is documented in the aquatic fauna of the oceans, but, in the Amazon basin, reports on microplastic occurrence are few.

The Microplastic-Antibiotic Resistance Connection [PDF]

, 2021
Microplastic pollution is a big and rapidly growing environmental problem. Although the direct effects of microplastic pollution are increasingly studied, the indirect effects are hardly investigated, especially in the context of spreading of disease and

Global Modeled Sinking Characteristics of Biofouled Microplastic [PDF]

, 2021
Microplastic debris ending up at the sea surface has become a known major environmental issue. However, how microplastic particles move and when they sink in the ocean remains largely unknown.

Microplastic burden in marine benthic invertebrates depends on species traits and feeding ecology within biogeographical provinces

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.

Temporal trends in microplastic deposition in marine sedimentary environments in the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, British Columbia, Canada

, 2023
Understanding temporal trends in microplastic deposition in marine sedimentary environments can help to determine relationships between microplastics and sedimentary processes, as well as potential sources. Here we measured microplastic concentrations in

Chapter First investigation of microplastic pollution in Monastir Sea surface water (eastern Tunisia)

, 2022
In the framework of COMMON MED-project, a sampling campaign was carried out during December 2020 along two radials namely: T1 and T2. The findings showed that microplastic particles (MPs), ranging from 0.31 to 4.9 mm.

A Review of Human Exposure to Microplastics and Insights Into Microplastics as Obesogens [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest tens of thousands to millions of MP particles annually, or on the order of several milligrams daily.
