Microplastics in the Ocean [PDF]
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2015 Since their ubiquity in the ocean and marine organisms was first revealed, global concern about microplastics has grown considerably. The North Pacific Ocean and the adjacent marginal seas have high levels of microplastic contamination compared with the global average.

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.

Microplastic Index—How to Predict Microplastics Formation?
Polymers, 2023 The presence of microplastics in environmental compartments is generally recognized as a (potential) health risk. Many papers have been published on the abundance of microplastics at various locations around the globe, but only limited knowledge is available on possible mitigation routes.

Microplastics in the Food Chain [PDF]
Life, 2021 Currently, microplastics represent a widespread contamination found in almost every part of the environment. The plastic industry has generated waste since the 1950s, which unfortunately now counts in the millions. The largest share of plastic consumption is used to produce packaging materials, including those applied in the food industry.

Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research
Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023 Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textiles ...

Micromachines for Microplastics Treatment [PDF]
ACS Nanoscience Au, 2022 The increasing accumulation of persistent nondegradable microplastics in the marine environment represents a global environmental problem. Among emerging approaches to tackle microplastics are micro- and nanomotors, tiny devices capable of autonomous propulsion powered by chemical fuels or light.
