Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic pollution of the beaches of Guanabara Bay, Southeast Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, a large proportion of the plastics found in the ocean are in the form of microplastics (i.e., micro-plastic fractions) and it is widely recognized as an important marine environmental pollutant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoplastics in aquatic systems - are they more hazardous than microplastics?
TL;DR: This review aims to provide an updated overview of this emerging topic, reviewing the literature mainly from 2018 onwards and considering the effects of nanoplastics on ecosystems, their uptake and transport of polluting molecules, and the challenges that are faced by workers in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics and attached microorganisms in sediments of the Vitória bay estuarine system in SE Brazil
José Antônio Baptista Neto,Christine Gaylarde,Iwona Beech,Alex Cardoso Bastos,Valéria da Silva Quaresma,Diego Gomes de Carvalho +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the concentration of microplastic in the benthic sediment of Vitoria Bay estuarine system (SVB), SE Brazil, using scanning electron micrographs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paint fragments as polluting microplastics: A brief review.
TL;DR: This review discusses detection, characteristics, sources and ecological effects of paint fragments in the authors' oceans, as well as the abundance of Paint fragments in MP samples around the world and their colonization by marine microorganisms, which differs from that of non-paint MPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinctive sedimentary processes in Guanabara Bay - SE/Brazil, based on the analysis of echo-character (7.0 kHz)
Leonardo Fernadez de Catanzaro,José Antônio Baptista Neto,Maurício de Souza Dias Guimarães,Cleverson Guizan Silva +3 more
TL;DR: Guanabara Bay bottom sediments and seabed characteristics were analyzed using high-resolution (7 kHz) sub-bottom profiles associated with particle size analyses of 92 bottom sediment samples.
