A Rapid Method for Detecting Microplastics Based on Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Technology (FLIM)

Toxics, 2022
With the increasing use and release of plastic products, microplastics have rapidly accumulated in ecological environments. When microplastics enter the food chain, they cause serious harm to organisms and humans.

Up and away: ontogenic transference as a pathway for aerial dispersal of microplastics [PDF]

, 2018
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants found in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. With so many MPs in aquatic systems it is inevitable that they will be ingested by aquatic organisms, and be transferred up through the food chain ...

Microbial colonization and degradation of marine microplastics in the plastisphere: A review

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Marine microplastic pollution is a growing problem for ecotoxicology that needs to be resolved. In particular, microplastics may be carriers of “dangerous hitchhikers,” pathogenic microorganisms, i.e., Vibrio.

A Detailed Review Study on Potential Effects of Microplastics and Additives of Concern on Human Health

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
The distribution and abundance of microplastics into the world are so extensive that many scientists use them as key indicators of the recent and contemporary period defining a new historical epoch: The Plasticene.

What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]

, 2019
Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.
