Bioavailability and toxicity of microplastics to zooplankton

Gondwana Research, 2021
In recent years, microplastic (MP) pollution has been widely reported. Many studies have shown that MPs in the oceans not only exist in the water but also are eaten by plankton and may be transferred to other trophic levels via the plankton food web ...

PCBs and PBDEs in microplastic particles and zooplankton in open water in the Pacific Ocean and around the coast of Japan.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
PCBs and PBDEs in microplastics and zooplankton collected in surface water at 27 locations in the Pacific Ocean and around the coast of Japan were investigated.

Characteristics of microplastics ingested by zooplankton from the Bohai Sea, China

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Microplastic (MP) ingestion has been recorded in 39 zooplankton species from 28 taxonomic orders, and marine zooplankton are the organisms most susceptible to MPs. However, few field studies have examined the characteristics and major influencing factors

Microplastics in seawater and zooplankton from the Yellow Sea.

Environmental Pollution, 2018
Marine plastic pollution is a worldwide problem. Microplastics (MPs) are the predominant form of marine plastic debris, a form small enough to be ingested by and potentially harm marine organisms. It is urgent to develop ecologically relevant metrics for

Environmental factors as indicators of dissolved oxygen concentration and zooplankton abundance: Deep learning versus traditional regression approach

Ecological Indicators, 2019
Presence of optimal levels of dissolved oxygen (above critical level of 4.5 mg L−1) and presence of zooplankton community are indicators of good water quality of an aquatic ecosystem and also of the health of the same.

Temporal variation in zooplankton and phytoplankton community species composition and the affecting factors in Lake Taihu-a large freshwater lake in China.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Monitoring diverse components of aquatic ecosystems is vital for elucidation of diversity dynamics and processes, which alter freshwater ecosystems, but such studies are seldom conducted.

Occurrence and ingestion of microplastics by zooplankton in Kenya's marine environment: first documented evidence

African Journal of Marine Science, 2018
Microplastics can be ingested by marine organisms and may lead to negative impacts at the base of marine food chains. This study investigated the occurrence and composition of microplastics in the sea-surface water and sought evidence of ingestion by ...
