Production and Characterization of Polyethylene Terephthalate Nanoparticles [PDF]

Polymers, 2021
Microplastic (MP) pollution represents one of the biggest environmental problems that is further exacerbated by the continuous degradation in the marine environment of MPs to nanoplastics (NPs). The most diffuse plastics in oceans are commodity polymers, mainly thermoplastics widely used for packaging, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However,

Harmful algae and pathogens on plastics in three mediterranean coastal lagoons

Heliyon, 2023
Plastic is now a pervasive pollutant in all marine ecosystems. The microplastics and macroplastic debris were studied in three French Mediterranean coastal lagoons (Prevost, Biguglia and Diana lagoons), displaying different environmental characteristics.

Biological degradation of polyethylene terephthalate by rhizobacteria

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
Abstract In view of growing demand of plastic products, an enormous proportion of plastic waste causing the biological issue is produced. Plants in collaboration with their rhizobacteria partners are also exposed to these contaminants. The aim of the study is to determine the rhizobacterial ability to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
