Occurrence of microplastics and phthalate esters in urban runoff: A focus on the Persian Gulf coastline
TL;DR: In this article , the first results on MP and PAE levels in the urban runoff into the northern part of the Persian Gulf during the dry season were presented, and the results showed that urban runoff is a main source of microplastic contaminants that are discharged into the Persian gulf.

TL;DR: In this article, the first results on MP and PAE levels in the urban runoff into the northern part of the Persian Gulf during the dry season were presented, and the results showed that urban runoff is a main source of microplastic and phthalate acid esters contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, seasonal distribution, and ecological risk assessment of microplastics and phthalate esters in leachates of a landfill site located near the marine environment: Bushehr port, Iran as a case.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provided the first information on the levels of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate esters (PAEs) in the fresh landfill leachate of Bushehr port during different seasons.

Microplastic occurrence in urban and industrial soils of Ahvaz metropolis: A city with a sustained record of air pollution
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the concentration, distribution, fate and chemical composition of microplastics in urban and industrial soils of Ahvaz metropolis, SW Iran, and found that microfibres (white-transparent and < 250 μm) were the most abundant MPs found in urban (70%) and industrial (55%) soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is it possible to efficiently and sustainably remove microplastics from sediments using froth flotation?
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors applied froth flotation to the MPs removal from beach and lake sediments and found that the sediment particle adhered to the MP surfaces resulted in unavailable attachment of air bubbles to MPs surfaces.

An ecological risk index for aquatic pollution control.a sedimentological approach
TL;DR: In this article, a sedimentological risk index for toxic substances in limnic systems should at least, account for the following four requirements: the following: the quality of the sediment, the water quality, the sediment quality, and the sediment diversity.

Estimation of Average Concentration in the Presence of Nondetectable Values
TL;DR: In this article, the average concentration of a particular contaminant during some period of time, a certain proportion of the collected samples is often reported to be below the limit of detection.

Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities.
TL;DR: This review critically evaluates the current literature on the presence, behaviour and fate of microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments and, where appropriate, draws on relevant studies from other fields including nanotechnology, agriculture and waste management.

Microplastic Ingestion by Zooplankton
Matthew Cole,P. Lindeque,Elaine S. Fileman,Claudia Halsband,Rhys M. Goodhead,Julian Moger,Tamara S. Galloway +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastics are ingested by, and may impact upon, zooplankton, and imply that marine microplastic debris can negatively impact upon zoopLankton function and health.
