Atmospheric transport and deposition of microplastics in a remote mountain catchment
Steve Allen,Deonie Allen,Vernon R. Phoenix,Gaël Le Roux,Pilar Durantez Jimenez,Anaëlle Simonneau,Stéphane Binet,Didier Galop +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the observations of atmospheric microplastic deposition in a remote, pristine mountain catchment (French Pyrenees) and suggest that microplastics can reach and affect remote, sparsely inhabited areas through atmospheric transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric microplastics: A review on current status and perspectives
TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of knowledge on atmospheric microplastics, the methods for sample collection, analysis and detection, and the recommendations for atmospheric micro-plastic sampling and measurement are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examination of the ocean as a source for atmospheric microplastics.
Steve Allen,Steve Allen,Deonie Allen,Deonie Allen,Kerry Moss,Gaël Le Roux,Vernon R. Phoenix,Jeroen E. Sonke +7 more
TL;DR: First evidence of MP particles are shown in marine boundary layer air samples on the French Atlantic coast during both onshore and offshore winds, indicating a potential for MPs to be released from the marine environment into the atmosphere by sea-spray giving a globally extrapolated figure of 136000 ton/yr blowing on shore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in glaciers of the Tibetan Plateau: Evidence for the long-range transport of microplastics.
TL;DR: Microplastics were detected in glacier surface snow on the Tibetan Plateau, which were isolated from the impact of human activities, indicating that microplastics can be transported over long distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gathering at the top?: Environmental controls of microplastic uptake and biomagnification in freshwater food webs

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of key research challenges in analysing the environmental fate and transport of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, including the identification of hydrological, sedimentological and particle property controls on microplastic accumulation in aquatic ecosystems.
