TLDR
In this article, the authors show that looking back in time along specific plastic pollution pathways may help unravel the potential sources of plastics leakage into the environment and provide quantitative evidence to support the development of source control interventions or regulations.About:

Effects of microplastics on humification and fungal community during cow manure composting
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of microplastics on the biological treatment of organic waste has been extensively studied, but little is known about the influence of different MPs on composting humification and the fungal community.

Production, use, and fate of all plastics ever made
TL;DR: By identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and additives, this work presents the first global analysis of all mass-produced plastics ever manufactured.

Microplastics in the marine environment
TL;DR: The mechanisms of generation and potential impacts of microplastics in the ocean environment are discussed, and the increasing levels of plastic pollution of the oceans are understood, it is important to better understand the impact of microPlastic in the Ocean food web.

Microplastics as contaminants in the marine environment: a review.
TL;DR: Ingestion of microplastics has been demonstrated in a range of marine organisms, a process which may facilitate the transfer of chemical additives or hydrophobic waterborne pollutants to biota.

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks
Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Phillip Crump,S. J. Niven,Emma L. Teuten,Andrew Tonkin,Tamara S. Galloway,Richard C. Thompson +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to the equator, with more material in densely populated areas, but no clear relationship between the abundance of miocroplastics and the mean size-distribution of natural particulates.
