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 ...

Long-distance atmospheric transport of microplastic fibres influenced by their shapes
Nature Geoscience, 2023 Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the atmosphere in the long-range transport of microplastic fibres. However, their dry deposition in the atmosphere is not fully understood, with the common spherical-shape assumption leading to ...

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,

Sampling methods of microplastics in freshwater and seawater envionment [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Microplastic had been contaminating freshwater ecosystem. But, our knowledge to identify kind of microplastics are still limited. Microplastic research methods in both water and sediment are generally divided into several stages: sampling, sample ...

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.
