The vertical distribution and biological transport of marine microplastics across the epipelagic and mesopelagic water column. [PDF]
, 2019 Plastic waste has been documented in nearly all types of marine environments and has been found in species spanning all levels of marine food webs. Within these marine environments, deep pelagic waters encompass the largest ecosystems on Earth. We lack a

Microplastic effects on plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 SummaryMicroplastic effects in terrestrial ecosystems have recently moved into focus, after about a decade of research being limited to aquatic systems. While effects on soil physical properties and soil biota are starting to become apparent, there is not much information on the consequences for plant performance.

Raman Microspectroscopy Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk
Polymers, 2022 The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-products, including microplastics (MPs), which enter the human organism mainly by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact.

Effects of Microplastics on Fish and in Human Health
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth.

Impacts of microplastics on immunity
Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022 Most disposable plastic products are degraded slowly in the natural environment and continually turned to microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), posing additional environmental hazards. The toxicological assessment of MPs for marine organisms and mammals has been reported.

Detection and Analysis of Microplastics in Human Sputum.
Environmental Science and Technology, 2022 Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental problem, and little research has focused on its impact on the human body. Based on retrospective case series, the study required participants to fill out a questionnaire and provide sputum samples in ...

Open Schools Journal for Open Science, 2020 The project consisted of a market study, in order to know the attitudes of the inhabitants of Vila Nova de Famalicão (VNF) towards the use of plastic and to measure the knowledge of the population of VNF about microplastics. Students of various grades that were interested in the theme carried out the project. The main goal was to change mentalities and
