Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of polystyrene microplastic and nanoplastic on copper toxicity in two freshwater microalgae.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of polystyrene (PS) MP/NP on microalgae after long-term exposure (i.e., longer than 4 days) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of polystyrene and triphenyl phosphate on growth, photosynthesis and oxidative stress of Chaetoceros meülleri.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the single and combined toxicity of polystyrene (PS) and triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) on the cell growth, photosynthesis, and oxidative stress of Chaetoceros meulleri were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sorption behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on biodegradable polylactic acid and various nondegradable microplastics: Model fitting and mechanism analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the adsorption kinetics of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on six non-degradable types of microplastics (MPs) and one biodegradable plastic (BP) in two water matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics and plankton: Knowledge from laboratory and field studies to distinguish contamination from pollution.
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of the literature on plankton and microplastics was conducted, and the results showed that 70% of the 147 relevant publications were from laboratory studies and micro-plastics interactions with plankton were recorded in 88 species.

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.
