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.

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

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.
