Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics as vectors for environmental contaminants: Exploring sorption, desorption, and transfer to biota.

TL;DR: HOC sorption to and desorption from MPs and the underlying principles for their interactions are explored and intrinsic and extrinsic parameters influencing these processes are discussed and focus on the importance of the exposure route for diffusive mass transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical perspective on early communications concerning human health aspects of microplastics

TL;DR: The recent debate on microplastic exposure has created a skewed picture of human plastic exposure and is pulling the focus away from the root of the problem: the way in which the authors consume, use and dispose of plastics leading to their widespread presence in their everyday life and in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ingestion of micro- and nanoplastics in Daphnia magna - Quantification of body burdens and assessment of feeding rates and reproduction.

TL;DR: The lower egestion and decreased feeding rates, caused by the 100 nm particles, could indicate that particles in the nanometer size range are potentially more hazardous to D. magna compared to larger particle sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suspended micro-sized PVC particles impair the performance and decrease survival in the Asian green mussel Perna viridis

TL;DR: It is suggested that microplastics constitute a new seston component that exerts a stress comparable to natural suspended solids similar to that experienced by marine bivalves during prolonged periods of valve closure.
