Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of microplastics on microalgae populations: A critical review.
TL;DR: More research is needed to better understand the effects of microplastics on microalgae, such as adaptation strategies, effects on population dynamics and microplastic properties influencing toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between microplastics and microorganism as well as gut microbiota: A consideration on environmental animal and human health.
TL;DR: This review summarized the interactions between MPs and microorganisms as well as gut microbiota, and considered the possible impacts of MPs on environmental animal and human health, suggesting that the environmental microorganisms and the gut microbiota of animals were also the very important target for MPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between polystyrene microplastics and marine phytoplankton lead to species-specific hetero-aggregation
Marc Long,Marc Long,Ika Paul-Pont,Hélène Hégaret,Brivaëla Moriceau,Christophe Lambert,Arnaud Huvet,Philippe Soudant +7 more
TL;DR: The potential for phytoplankton cells and residual organic matter to interact with microplastics, and thus potentially influence their distribution and bioavailability in experimental systems and the water column, is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyvinyl Chloride Microplastics Affect Methane Production from the Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge through Leaching Toxic Bisphenol-A.
TL;DR: PVC microplastic caused negative effects on WAS anaerobic digestion through leaching the toxic BPA, causing significant inhibitory effects on the hydrolysis-acidification process and the long-term effects of PVC microplastics revealed that the microbial community was shifted in the direction against hydroly digestion and methanation.

Microplastics and associated contaminants in the aquatic environment: A review on their ecotoxicological effects, trophic transfer, and potential impacts to human health.
Wei Huang,Biao Song,Jie Liang,Qiuya Niu,Guangming Zeng,Maocai Shen,Jiaqin Deng,Yuan Luo,Xiaofeng Wen,Yafei Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of microplastics on typical aquatic organisms from different trophic levels are described, and the combined effects ofmicroplastics and associated contaminants on aquatic biota are summarized.

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.
