Effect of microplastics in water and aquatic systems
Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021 Surging dismissal of plastics into water resources results in the splintered debris generating microscopic particles called microplastics. The reduced size of microplastic makes it easier for intake by aquatic organisms resulting in amassing of noxious ...

Microplastics evidence in yolk and liver of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), a pilot study [PDF]
, 2023 The potential toxicity of microplastics is a growing concern for the scientific community. The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is particularly inclined to accidently ingest plastic and microplastic due to its long-life cycle features.

Analysis of Slow-Released Fertilisers as a Source of Microplastics
LandOne of the main strategies for improving the efficiency of agricultural production is the use of fertilisers with slow or controlled release of nutrients, in which the granules of mineral fertilisers are covered with polymeric shells.

Microplastics concentrations in soil along a racetrack [PDF]
, 2022 Motorsport is known for its high tire wear due to speed, cornering, and high acceleration/deceleration activities. However, studies on the generation of microplastics from racetracks are rare.

Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2018 Microplastics and antibiotics are two classes of emerging contaminants with proposed negative impacts to aqueous ecosystems. Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics may result in their long-range transport and may cause compound combination effects. In this study, we investigated the adsorption of 5 antibiotics [sulfadiazine (SDZ), amoxicillin (AMX),

Scanning Electron Microscopy and Metabolite Measurement Revealed the Stress Mechanism of PS-COOH Microplastics on Rhodotorula mucilaginosa AN5 [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Microplastics in the marine environment have been paid more and more attention by researchers, and the impact of these substances on marine microorganisms can not be ignored. Studies have shown that PS-COOH Microplastics are harmful to marine molluscs, algae and monads.

Effects of microplastics and surfactants on surface roughness of water waves [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this paper, we study the flow physics underlying the recently developed remote sensing capability of detecting oceanic microplastics, which is based on the measurable surface roughness reduction induced by the presence of microplastics on the ocean surface.
