Preliminary Proposal for Standardizing the Protocol for the Determination of Microplastics’ Influence on the CO₂ and/or CH₄ Emission in Agricultural Soils

Applied Sciences
Soil contamination by microplastics (MPs) is a global problem, exacerbated by the growing production of plastics and low levels of recycling. Considering that agricultural lands constitute a significant part of the land surface (37.7%), the study of the ...

Microplastics ingestions by wild and aquaculture marine bivalves: A systematic review on field investigation study

Sustinere: Journal of Environment and Sustainability, 2023
Plastics degradation has resulted in a major threat to marine organisms, including bivalves. Thirty-three peer-reviewed papers have been reviewed to understand the geographical spread of microplastics ingestion by marine bivalves, characteristics of ...

The potential impact of nano- and microplastics on human health: Understanding human health risks.

Environmental Research
Plastics are used all over the world. Unfortunately, due to limited biodegradation, plastics cause a significant level of environmental pollution. The smallest recognized to date are termed nanoplastics (1 nm [nm] up to 1 μm [μm]) and microplastics (1 μm-

The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris [PDF]

, 2020
Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste estimated to have entered the ocean from land is unaccounted for.

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

Microplastic Pollution in the Inlet and Outlet Networks of Rawa Jombor Reservoir: Accumulation in Aquatic Fauna, Interactions with Heavy Metals, and Health Risk Assessment

Environment and Natural Resources Journal, 2022
Streams are regarded as a pathway for spreading microplastics from land to various aquatic systems. The contamination of streams connected to the Rawa Jombor Reservoir may increase microplastic concentrations in the reservoir. The water coming out of the

What is with all the plastic garbage everywhere and where does it go? [PDF]

, 2020
Despite countless efforts in recycling, awareness, and limited legislation, plastic pollution has continued to spiral out of control due to massive production/use and the inability to naturally decompose.
