Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of five antibiotics and their mixtures towards photosynthetic aquatic organisms: implications for environmental risk assessment.
Miguel González-Pleiter,Soledad Gonzalo,Ismael Rodea-Palomares,Francisco Leganés,Roberto Rosal,Karina Boltes,E. Marco,Francisca Fernández-Piñas +7 more
TL;DR: From the tested antibiotic mixtures, it can be concluded that certain specific combinations may pose a potential ecological risk for aquatic ecosystems with the present environmentally measured concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants and their environmental dispersion with effluent and sludge.
Carlos Edo,Miguel González-Pleiter,Francisco Leganés,Francisca Fernández-Piñas,Roberto Rosal +4 more
TL;DR: The sludge of the WWTP sampled in this work, would disseminate 8 × 1011 plastic particles per year if improperly managed and the agricultural use of sludge as soil amendment in the area of Madrid could spread up to 1013 microplastic particles in agricultural soils per year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary nanoplastics released from a biodegradable microplastic severely impact freshwater environments
Miguel González-Pleiter,Miguel Tamayo-Belda,Gerardo Pulido-Reyes,Georgiana Amariei,Francisco Leganés,Roberto Rosal,Francisca Fernández-Piñas +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of secondary nanoplastics of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable plastic, on three representative organisms of aquatic ecosystems were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibers spreading worldwide: Microplastics and other anthropogenic litter in an Arctic freshwater lake
Miguel González-Pleiter,David Velázquez,Carlos Edo,Olga Carretero,Jesús Gago,Ángel Barón-Sola,Luis E. Hernández,Ibraheem Yousef,Antonio Quesada,Francisco Leganés,Roberto Rosal,Francisca Fernández-Piñas +11 more
TL;DR: The results proved the occurrence of anthropogenic pollutants in remote polar areas and their probable origin is the long range atmospheric transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and identification of microplastics along a beach in the Biosphere Reserve of Lanzarote.
Carlos Edo,Miguel Tamayo-Belda,Sergio Martínez-Campos,Keila Martín-Betancor,Miguel González-Pleiter,Gerardo Pulido-Reyes,Carmen García-Ruiz,Félix Zapata,Francisco Leganés,Francisca Fernández-Piñas,Roberto Rosal +10 more
TL;DR: Clear colours and microscopic evidence of weathering corresponded to aged plastics wind-driven by the surface Canary Current, suggesting preferential accumulation of more aged fragments.
