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.

Transition paths of marine debris and the stability of the garbage patches [PDF]
, 2020 We used transition path theory (TPT) to infer "reactive" pathways of floating marine debris trajectories. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware time-homogeneous Markov chain model constructed from trajectories produced by satellite-tracked undrogued buoys from the NOAA Global Drifter Program.

Sources of nanoplastic and microplastic pollution which are hidden in plain sight
Cambridge Prisms: PlasticsPlastic pollution is pervasive in our environment, with impacts seen across ecosystems and taxa. While plastic has become an integral part of our daily lives, not all of it is readily apparent, making it challenging to effectively reduce plastic ...

Classification of PS and ABS Black Plastics for WEEE Recycling Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Pollution and climate change are some of the biggest challenges that humanity is facing. In such a context, efficient recycling is a crucial tool for a sustainable future. This work is aimed at creating a system that can classify different types of plastics by using picture analysis, in particular, black plastics of the type Polystyrene (PS) and ...

Detecting microplastics pollution in world oceans using SAR remote sensing [PDF]
, 2018 Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans is estimated to have reached 270.000 tones, or 5.25 trillion pieces. This plastic is now ubiquitous, however due to ocean circulation patterns, it accumulates in the ocean gyres, creating “garbage patches”.

Plastic pollution fosters more microbial growth in lakes than natural organic matter
Nature Communications, 2022 Plastic debris widely pollutes freshwaters. Abiotic and biotic degradation of plastics releases carbon-based substrates that are available for heterotrophic growth, but little is known about how these novel organic compounds influence microbial ...
