Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks

TL;DR: It is shown that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to the equator, with more material in densely populated areas, but no clear relationship between the abundance of miocroplastics and the mean size-distribution of natural particulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport and release of chemicals from plastics to the environment and to wildlife

TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential for plastics to transport hydrophobic contaminants.
TL;DR: Plastic debris may be important agents in the transport of hydrophobic contaminants to sediment-dwelling organisms, and the addition of as little as 1 microg of contaminated polyethylene to a gram of sediment would give a significant increase in phenanthrene accumulation by A. marina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Abundant Bioaccumulated Halogenated Compounds Are Natural Products
TL;DR: By analyzing the natural abundance radiocarbon content of two MeO-PBDEs isolated from a True's beaked whale (Mesoplodon mirus), it is shown that these compounds were naturally produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halogenated organic compounds in archived whale oil: a pre-industrial record.
TL;DR: An archived whale oil sample collected in 1921 from the last voyage of the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan is analyzed and indicates, at least in part, a natural source of halogenated methyl bipyrroles and dimethoxylated polybrominated biphenyl.
