Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-automated analysis of microplastics in complex wastewater samples.
Alice A. Horton,Richard Cross,Daniel S. Read,Monika D. Jürgens,Hollie L. Ball,Claus Svendsen,Jes Vollertsen,Andrew C. Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) and the complex sample matrices these provide and reports on critical considerations for blank corrections and quality control measures to ensure reliable microplastic analysis across different sample types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and Quantification of Microplastics in Potable Water and Their Sources within Water Treatment Works in England and Wales.
Andrew C. Johnson,Hollie L. Ball,Richard Cross,Alice A. Horton,Monika D. Jürgens,Daniel S. Read,Jes Vollertsen,Claus Svendsen +7 more
TL;DR: PE, PET and PP were the most common polymers quantified in raw water and sludge, and polystyrene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene in potable water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic pollution: When do we know enough?
TL;DR: In this paper, a perspective article lays out some key considerations and recommendations for moving forward with respect to both research and action, and highlights the relative importance of plastics as an environmental stressor and measures to reduce or mitigate harm from plastics in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing bee species responses to chemical mixtures: Common response patterns?
Alex Robinson,Helen Hesketh,Elma Lahive,Alice A. Horton,Claus Svendsen,Agnès Rortais,Jean-Lou Dorne,Jan Baas,Matthew S. Heard,David J. Spurgeon +9 more
TL;DR: Current models, particularly those that utilise time-series data, can be used to identify additivity as the dominant response pattern and also those examples of interactions, even when small-scale, that may need to be taken into account during risk assessment, are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing a systematic method for extraction of microplastics in soils.
Freya Radford,Lina M. Zapata-Restrepo,Alice A. Horton,Malcolm D. Hudson,Peter J. Shaw,Ian Williams +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic comparison of microplastic extraction methods from soils, taking into account the characteristics of the soil medium to determine the best methods for quantification is presented.
