Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and ecotoxicity of plastic and car tire rubber leachates to aquatic organisms
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the relationship between chemical composition and toxicity of plastic/rubber leachates, which ranged from slightly to highly toxic to mussels and algae, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the overall impact of plastic-associated chemicals on aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sorption of PAHs to microplastic and their bioavailability and toxicity to marine copepods under co-exposure conditions
TL;DR: Cfree reduction through MP sorption was reflected in a corresponding reduction of lethality and bioaccumulation, with no difference observed between ingestible and non-ingestible MP, which indicates that only free dissolved PAHs are significantly bioavailable to copepods under co-exposure conditions with MP-sorbedPAHs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Nylon Microplastic on Feeding, Lipid Accumulation, and Moulting in a Coldwater Copepod
Matthew Cole,Rachel L. Coppock,Rachel L. Coppock,Penelope K. Lindeque,Dag Altin,Sarah Reed,David W. Pond,David W. Pond,Lisbet Sørensen,Tamara S. Galloway,Andy M. Booth +10 more
TL;DR: It is emphasized that the shape and chemical profile of a microplastic can influence its bioavailability and toxicity, drawing attention to the importance of using environmentally relevant microplastics and chemically profiling plastics used in toxicity testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic fibres from synthetic textiles: Environmental degradation and additive chemical content.
Shannen T. L. Sait,Lisbet Sørensen,Stephan Kubowicz,Kristine Vike-Jonas,Susana González,Alexandros G. Asimakopoulos,Andy M. Booth +6 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the environmentally relevant photodegradation of common MPFs: polyester (PET), polyamide (PA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), their respective additive chemical profile, together with their potential for additive leaching.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV degradation of natural and synthetic microfibers causes fragmentation and release of polymer degradation products and chemical additives
Lisbet Sørensen,Anette Synnøve Groven,Ingrid Alver Hovsbakken,Oihane Del Puerto,Daniel Franklin Krause,Antonio Sarno,Andy M. Booth +6 more
TL;DR: A range of molecular degradation products were identified in seawater leachates after UV exposure, with increasing abundance over the duration of the experiment, and a variety of additive chemicals were shown to leach from the MFs into seawater.
