MicroplasticsThis study evaluated the ingestion of microplastics (MP) by copepods in Terminos Lagoon (TL), a RAMSAR-listed site in the southern Gulf of Mexico. The evaluation was carried out in two contrasting seasons of 2022, as follows: the dry (April) and the ...

White and wonderful? Microplastics prevail in snow from the Alps to the Arctic
Science Advances, 2019 We detect microplastics in European and Arctic snow, highlighting the importance of atmospheric transport as a pathway. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, and considerable quantities prevail even in the Arctic; however, there are large knowledge gaps ...

Long-Term Monitoring of Microplastics in a German Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant
MicroplasticsWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as important point sources for microplastics (MPs) in the environment; monitoring MP emissions in the WWTP effluent is therefore essential for contamination control.

Isolation and Characterisation of Polypropylene Microplastic-Utilising Bacterium from the Antarctic Soil [PDF]
arXivDespite its remoteness from other continents, the Antarctic region cannot escape the aftermath of human activities as it is highly influenced by anthropogenic impacts that occur both in the regional and global context. Contamination by microplastics, mostly caused by the improper disposal of plastic waste, is widely recognised as a serious ...

Unraveling Plastic Pollution in Protected Terrestrial Raptors Using Regurgitated Pellets
MicroplasticsThe threat of plastic pollution has escalated to unprecedented levels, with particular concern surrounding microplastics (MPs) and artificial fibers or particles (AFs) due to their wide distribution across ecosystems and their bioavailability to wildlife.

GANsemble for Small and Imbalanced Data Sets: A Baseline for Synthetic Microplastics Data [PDF]
arXivMicroplastic particle ingestion or inhalation by humans is a problem of growing concern. Unfortunately, current research methods that use machine learning to understand their potential harms are obstructed by a lack of available data. Deep learning techniques in particular are challenged by such domains where only small or imbalanced data sets are ...

Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Adsorption and Degradation of Microplastics
MicroplasticsMicroplastics (MPs) are currently a serious environmental problem, primarily due to their persistence in the environment, low concentration, and difficulty in detection and disposal. MPs have also been detected in humans and have been shown to be harmful.

Statistical Analysis and Stochastic Dislocation-Based Modelling of Microplasticity [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Plastic deformation in microscale differs from the macroscopic plasticity in two respects: (i) the flow stress of small samples depends on their size (ii) the scatter of plasticity increases significantly. In this work we focus on the scatter of plasticity.
