TL;DR: The role of marine microplastic as a novel medium for environmental partitioning of chemicals in the ocean, which can cause toxic effects in the ecological environment is systematically demonstrated.

TL;DR: Analytical protocols of MPs should better be standardized and optimized, and detection technologies for identifying nano-sized plastic particles are still lacking, and therefore should be developed swiftly.

TL;DR: It is indicated that POCIS can be used as a quantitative tool for measuring PPCPs in the aquatic environment and appears to be boundary-layer controlled, as indicated by higher sampling rates under flowing conditions.

TL;DR: The enantiomer composition of phenoxyalkanoic and acetamide herbicides, organophosphorus and pyrethroid pesticides, chiral polychlorinated biphenyl metabolites, synthetic musks, hexabromocyclodododecane, and pharmaceuticals in the environment show species-dependent enantioselectivity from biotransformation and other biologically mediated processes affecting enantiomers differentially.

TL;DR: Changes in EF through treatment indicate biologically mediated stereoselective processes were likely occurring during wastewater treatment, and represent an improvement in wastewater EF measurement for atenolol, metoprolol and propranolol.
