Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks
Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Phillip Crump,S. J. Niven,Emma L. Teuten,Andrew Tonkin,Tamara S. Galloway,Richard C. Thompson +8 more
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
Ingested Microscopic Plastic Translocates to the Circulatory System of the Mussel,Mytilus edulis(L.)
Mark Anthony Browne,Awantha Dissanayake,Tamara S. Galloway,David M. Lowe,Richard C. Thompson +4 more
TL;DR: The data indicate as plastic fragments into smaller particles, the potential for accumulation in the tissues of an organism increases and further work using a wider range of organisms, polymers, and periods of exposure will be required to establish the biological consequences of this debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Policy: Classify plastic waste as hazardous
Chelsea M. Rochman,Mark Anthony Browne,Benjamin S. Halpern,Brian T. Hentschel,Eunha Hoh,Hrissi K. Karapanagioti,Lorena M. Rios-Mendoza,Hideshige Takada,Swee J. Teh,Richard C. Thompson +9 more
TL;DR: Policies for managing plastic debris are outdated and threaten the health of people and wildlife, say Chelsea M Rochman, Mark Anthony Browne and colleagues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial patterns of plastic debris along Estuarine shorelines.
TL;DR: Test hypotheses about the influence of wind and depositional regime on spatial patterns of micro- and macro-plastic debris within the Tamar Estuary, UK show habitats that are downwind acting as potential sinks for the accumulation of debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic Moves Pollutants and Additives to Worms, Reducing Functions Linked to Health and Biodiversity
Mark Anthony Browne,S. J. Niven,S. J. Niven,Tamara S. Galloway,Steve Rowland,Richard C. Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that large concentrations of microplastic and additives can harm ecophysiological functions performed by organisms, and this work indicates that global microplastics contamination accelerates.
