Where does Arctic beach debris come from? Analyzing debris composition and provenance on Svalbard aided by citizen scientists

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Plastic debris is ubiquitous in all ecosystems and has even reached locations that humans will hardly reach such as the deep ocean floor and the atmosphere.

Sorption of PCBs to environmental plastic pollution in the North Atlantic Ocean: Importance of size and polymer type

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2020
Plastic pollution is a great threat to the marine environment. Owing to its low density, a substantial fraction of plastic debris is transported across ocean surfaces by currents.

Recycling of Marine Plastic Debris

, 2021
Although marine debris has been accumulating for many decades, only during the last three the accumulation of millions of waste tons at seas and oceans has generated interest and concern of scientists and governments. While marine debris may present different origins and nature, polymers lead in abundance.

Understanding the Fragmentation Pattern of Marine Plastic Debris [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2016
The global estimation of microplastic afloat in the ocean is only approximately 1% of annual global plastic inputs. This reflects fundamental knowledge gaps in the transformation, fragmentation, and fates of microplastics in the ocean. In order to better understand microplastic fragmentation we proceeded to a thorough physicochemical characterization ...

Analysis of plastic debris on Malaysia beaches / Liyana 'Izzati Aris [PDF]

, 2012
Plastic debris is the main cluster of solid waste component present in the marine environment. Anthropogenic activities namely recreational and fishing activities are believed to contribute to the abundance of plastic debris (1 – 30 mm in size ...

As main meal for sperm whales: Plastics debris [PDF]

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013
Marine debris has been found in marine animals since the early 20th century, but little is known about the impacts of the ingestion of debris in large marine mammals. In this study we describe a case of mortality of a sperm whale related to the ingestion of large amounts of marine debris in the Mediterranean Sea (4th published case worldwide to our ...

Additive chemicals in plastic marine debris and their new products

, 2022
Plastic marine debris can remain in the ocean for long periods of time. Plastic products contain numerous additive chemicals, which are present in large amount (~70% by weight), and can be transferred to the marine environment.
