Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics as contaminants in the marine environment: a review.
TL;DR: Ingestion of microplastics has been demonstrated in a range of marine organisms, a process which may facilitate the transfer of chemical additives or hydrophobic waterborne pollutants to biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic Ingestion by Zooplankton
Matthew Cole,P. Lindeque,Elaine S. Fileman,Claudia Halsband,Rhys M. Goodhead,Julian Moger,Tamara S. Galloway +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastics are ingested by, and may impact upon, zooplankton, and imply that marine microplastic debris can negatively impact upon zoopLankton function and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Polystyrene Microplastics on Feeding, Function and Fecundity in the Marine Copepod Calanus helgolandicus
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ingestion of microplastics can significantly alter the feeding capacity of the pelagic copepod Calanus helgolandicus and constructed a conceptual energetic (carbon) budget showing that microplastic-exposed copepods suffer energetic depletion over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of microplastics in biota-rich seawater samples and marine organisms
TL;DR: The efficacy of using acid, alkaline and enzymatic digestion techniques in mineralizing biological material from marine surface trawls to reveal any microplastics present is investigated and it is illustrated that enzyme digestion can aid the detection of microplastic debris within seawater samples and marine biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics Alter the Properties and Sinking Rates of Zooplankton Faecal Pellets
Matthew Cole,Penelope K. Lindeque,Elaine S. Fileman,James R. Clark,James R. Clark,Ceri Lewis,Claudia Halsband,Tamara S. Galloway +7 more
TL;DR: The results support the proposal that sinking faecal matter represents a mechanism by which floating plastics can be vertically transported away from surface waters and facilitate the transfer of plastics to coprophagous biota.
