Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of nanoplastics during the degradation of polystyrene

TL;DR: Nanoparticle tracking analysis was applied to characterise the formation of nanoplastics during the degradation of a polystyrene (PS) disposable coffee cup lid and the results clearly show an increase in the formationof nanoplastic over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental performance of bio-based and biodegradable plastics: the road ahead

TL;DR: There is a need to assess the performance of polymer innovations in terms of their biodegradability especially under realistic waste management and environmental conditions, to avoid the unwanted release of plastic degradation products in receiving environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relevance of nano- and microplastics for freshwater ecosystems: A critical review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the state-of-the-science on microplastics types and particle concentrations in freshwater ecosystems, MP and nanoplastics uptake and tissue translocation, MP/NP-induced effects in freshwater organisms, and capabilities of MP and NP to modulate the toxicity of environmental chemicals.
