Journal ArticleDOI

Electron Spectroscopy of Aqueous Solution Interfaces Reveals Surface Enhancement of Halides

TL;DR: Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy operating at near ambient pressure, this paper measured the composition of the liquid/vapor interface for deliquesced samples of potassium bromide and potassium iodide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics in four estuarine rivers in the Chesapeake Bay, U.S.A.

TL;DR: Concentrations demonstrated statistically significant positive correlations with population density and proportion of urban/suburban development within watersheds and vary temporally in response to weather phenomena such as storm events.
Journal ArticleDOI

SEM/EDS and optical microscopy analyses of microplastics in ocean trawl and fish guts

TL;DR: Particle morphology determined by optical microscopy and SEM suggests the fish ingested particles contained both degradation fragments from larger plastic pieces and also manufactured microplastics, as well as pigment particles consistent with manufactured materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel method for the extraction and identification of microplastics in ocean trawl and fish gut matrices

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic extraction with ultrapure water was used to remove microplastic from fish stomachs without dissolving the stomach tissues or microplastics, which minimizes issues with hazardous disposal and laboratory safety.
