Co-contaminants of microplastics in two seabird species from the Canadian Arctic

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2022
Through ingestion and subsequent egestion, Arctic seabirds can bioaccumulate microplastics at and around their colony breeding sites. While microplastics in Arctic seabirds have been well documented, it is not yet understood to what extent these ...

A catchment‐scale perspective of plastic pollution [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2019
AbstractPlastic pollution is distributed across the globe, but compared with marine environments, there is only rudimentary understanding of the distribution and effects of plastics in other ecosystems. Here, we review the transport and effects of plastics across terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments.

Motivating actions to mitigate plastic pollution [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Designing effective policy interventions to motivate mitigation actions requires more realistic assumptions about human decision-making based on empirical evidence from the behavioural sciences. We therefore need to consider behavioural rather than only economic costs and benefits in policy intervention designs.

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
