Journal ArticleDOI
Source and Route of Microplastics in Terrestrial, Atmospheric, and Aquatic Environments, and Effects of Microplastics on Organisms
TL;DR: In this paper , the source and route of microplastics found in environments, and ecological effects of micro-plastics on organisms are discussed, where the authors explore how microplastic enter terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic environments and influence individual animals, plants, and microorganisms living in diverse ecosystems.
Book ChapterDOI
Impact of Micro and Nanoplastics in the Marine Environment
TL;DR: In this article , an overview of the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on marine organisms, from bacteria to fish, from molecular to population levels, is presented, with a focus on the biogeochemical cycle of plastic, how it behaves and is distributed in the aquatic-sediment compartment and in deep-sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
A primary study on the degradation of low-density polyethylene treated with select oxidizing agents and starch
TL;DR: In this paper , a study aimed to treat polyethylene to form a degradable, safe and earthy material by using starch and oxidizing agents to lower its inert ability to withstand its degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of polymers with microbial agents
TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the research achievements concerning the degradation of polymers using different microbes, including specific bacterial species such as Bacillus sp., Rhodococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus st., Arthrobacter sp., Microbacterium sp. etc.

Studies of marine planktonic diatoms: i. cyclotella nana hustedt, and detonula confervacea (cleve) gran.
TL;DR: Bacteria-free clones of the small centric diatom Cyclotella nana Hustedt were isolated, three from estuarine localities, one from Continental Shelf waters, and one from the Sargasso Sea as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review.
TL;DR: The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic, and a variety of approaches are urgently required to mitigate the problem.

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.

TL;DR: This review critiques existing nanomaterial research in freshwater, marine, and soil environments and illustrates the paucity of existing research and demonstrates the need for additional research.
