Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic contamination of river beds significantly reduced by catchment-wide flooding
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report catchmentwide patterns of microplastic contamination, classified by type, size and density, in channel bed sediments at 40 sites across urban, suburban and rural river catchments in northwest England.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seafloor microplastic hotspots controlled by deep-sea circulation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that thermohaline-driven currents can control the distribution of microplastics by creating hotspots of accumulation, analogous to their role in causing focused areas of seafloor sediment deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban particulate pollution reduction by four species of green roof vegetation in a UK city
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of four green roof species (sedum, Agrostis stolonifera, red fescue and Festuca rubra) at capturing particulate matter smaller than 10μm (PM 10 ) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion of Microplastics by Freshwater Tubifex Worms
TL;DR: It is shown that Tubifex worms retain microplastics for longer than they retain other particulate components of the ingested sediment matrix, which poses a significant risk for trophic transfer and biomagnification of microplastic up the aquatic food chain.

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of four green roof species (sedum, Agrostis stolonifera, red fescue and Festuca rubra) at capturing particulate matter smaller than 10μm (PM 10 ) was investigated.
