Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and distribution of microplastics in an urban river: A case study in the Pearl River along Guangzhou City, China
TL;DR: It is indicated that wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) could reduce microplastics from municipal sewage which was finally discharged into the Pearl River along Guangzhou.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the relationship between the abundance and properties of microplastics in water and in mussels.
TL;DR: The results supported positive and quantitative correlations of microplastics in mussels and in their surrounding waters and that mussels were more likely to ingest smallermicroplastics than those in the water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in oysters Saccostrea cucullata along the Pearl River Estuary, China.
Heng-Xiang Li,Li-Sha Ma,Lang Lin,Zhi-Xin Ni,Xiang-Rong Xu,Huahong Shi,Yan Yan,Guang-Ming Zheng,Dan Rittschof +8 more
TL;DR: Oysters are recommended as a biomonitor for the microplastic pollution in estuaries based on the results, which show light color microplastics were significantly more common than dark color ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Toxic Leachate from Commercial Plastics on Larval Survival and Settlement of the Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.
Heng-Xiang Li,Heng-Xiang Li,Gordon J. Getzinger,P. Lee Ferguson,Beatriz Orihuela,Mei Zhu,Dan Rittschof +6 more
TL;DR: Hydrophobicity (measured as surface energy) was positively correlated with mortality indicating that plastic surface chemistry may be an important factor in the effects of plastics on sessile organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sorption and desorption of phenanthrene on biodegradable poly(butylene adipate co-terephtalate) microplastics.
Lin-Zi Zuo,Heng-Xiang Li,Lang Lin,Yuxin Sun,Zenghui Diao,Shan Liu,Zong-Yao Zhang,Xiang-Rong Xu +7 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the biodegradable poly(butylene adipate co-terephtalate) microplastics are actually stronger vectors than the conventionalmicroplastics, and crystallization characteristics of the microplastic have great influences on the vector effect.
