Increasing soil microplastic diversity decreases community biomass via its impact on the most dominant species

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Ecosystems experience strong microplastic pollution and the ecological impacts of microplastic pollution have received increasing attention. While an ecosystem can be contaminated by different numbers of microplastics, no study has tested the impacts of ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

Change in microplastic concentration during various temporal events downstream of a combined sewage overflow and in an urban stormwater creek

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Changes in microplastic concentrations were examined during various temporal events including heavy rain and snowmelt in a river and an urban stream receiving stormwater. Additionally, microplastic concentrations were measured in an urban river during an
