Improving Microspectroscopic Microplastic Data Extrapolation: From Field of View to Full Sample, and from Fragment 2D-Morphology to Mass

open access: yesMicroplastics
Microplastic (MP) analysis via microspectroscopy typically examines only 1–10% of filter substrates due to time constraints, requiring reliable extrapolation methods for quantitative environmental monitoring.

Agricultural fertilisers contribute substantially to microplastic concentrations in UK soils [PDF]

open access: yes
Since their invention, plastics have driven a revolution in behavior in all aspects of our lives, including agriculture. In-use and as a waste material, plastics degrade and accumulate in agricultural systems.

An audit of microplastic abundance throughout three Australian wastewater treatment plants

open access: yes, 2020
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as an important pathway of microplastics to the environment. Most studies have focused on wastewater effluent, but generally only a small fraction of microplastics entering WWTPs are present in ...

Colorful attire and tailored protocols enhance traceability and mitigate contamination in biota microplastic research

open access: yesMicroplastics and Nanoplastics
Sample contamination remains a major obstacle to microplastic research; however, evaluations of mitigation strategies are scarce. This study synthesized 89 mitigation measures derived from literature, laboratory observations, and literature-based ...

Random or not? Comparing microplastic ingestion and preys in Scomber colias and Trachurus trachurus

open access: yes, 2022
Microplastics represent a rising threat to marine biota. As the fishing industry is a fundamental source of sustenance for human beings, microplastic ingestion by fish deserves appropriate attention.

Slip Localization Intensification Mediated by Grain Boundary Sliding in a Polycrystalline Nickel‐Based Superalloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The temperature dependence of fatigue behavior in nickel‐based superalloys is investigated through high‐resolution measurements of plastic localization. While increasing temperature reduces localization and enhances fatigue performance in René 88DT, Inconel 718 exhibits a sharp degradation at intermediate temperature due to intensified slip ...
