TLDR
Compared with non-contact shading effect, interactions between microplastic and microalage such as adsorption and aggregation were more reasonable explanations for toxic effects of microplastics on marine microalgae.About:

Effects of Leachates from UV-Weathered Microplastic in Cell-Based Bioassays.
Christophe Daniel Rummel,Beate I. Escher,Beate I. Escher,Oskar Sandblom,Merle Plassmann,Hans Peter H. Arp,Hans Peter H. Arp,Matthew MacLeod,Annika Jahnke +8 more
TL;DR: All plastic leachates activated the oxidative stress response, in most cases with increased induction by UV-treated samples compared to dark controls, and polyethylene-specific effects were partially explained by the detected dicarboxylic acids.

Influence of differently functionalized polystyrene microplastics on the toxic effects of P25 TiO2 NPs towards marine algae Chlorella sp.
Vignesh Thiagarajan,V. Iswarya,P Abraham Julian,R. Seenivasan,N. Chandrasekaran,Amitava Mukherjee +5 more
TL;DR: The present study examines the impact of differently functionalized microplastics on the toxic effects of P25 TiO2 NPs to marine algae Chlorella sp.

Are gold nanoparticles and microplastics mixtures more toxic to the marine microalgae Tetraselmis chuii than the substances individually
TL;DR: Overall, the results of the present study indicated that the MP and AuNP tested have a relatively low toxicity to T. chuii, but the toxicity increases when they are in mixtures containing high concentrations of both substances.

A review of microplastics in the aquatic environmental: distribution, transport, ecotoxicology, and toxicological mechanisms
Jia Du,Shaodan Xu,Qingwei Zhou,Huanxuan Li,Li Fu,Junhong Tang,Yangyang Wang,Xu Peng,Yuting Xu,Xinpeng Du +9 more
TL;DR: A systematic assessment of the aquatic environmental risk in various species from MPs is challenging and the knowledge gaps that need to be filled are identified and suggestions for future research are provided.

Microplastic exposure represses the growth of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate Cladocopium goreaui in culture through affecting its apoptosis and metabolism.
Yilu Su,Kaidian Zhang,Zhi Zhou,Zhi Zhou,Jierui Wang,Xiaohong Yang,Jia Tang,Hongfei Li,Senjie Lin +8 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that microplastics can act as an exogenous stressor, suppress detoxification activity, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis, elevate oxidative stress, and raise the apoptosis level through upregulating ion transport and apoptotic enzymes to repress the growth of C. goreaui.

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.

Nanomaterials in the environment: Behavior, fate, bioavailability, and effects
Stephen J. Klaine,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Graeme E. Batley,Teresa F. Fernandes,Richard D. Handy,Delina Y. Lyon,Shaily Mahendra,Mike J. McLaughlin,Jamie R. Lead +8 more
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.
