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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Marine macrophytes retain microplastics.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the contamination of water outside/inside thickets of macrophytes in the Baltic Sea by microplastic contamination and found that MPs particles in water samples taken within thickets are on average 1.7 times higher than those taken in the areas outside thickets.

Insights into the removal of microplastics from water using biochar in the era of COVID-19: A mini review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the potential of adsorption processes in the removal of microplastics in water, their toxicity and risks on the environment, as well as their degradation and conventional removal methods.

Noxic effects of polystyrene microparticles on murine macrophages and epithelial cells.
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of macrophages (J774A.1, ImKC) and epithelial cells (STC-1, BNL CL.2) with well-characterized poly(styrene) MP particles (MPP) of varying sizes (0.2 − 6.0 ǫ) was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the effects of continuous and accumulative exposure to nanoplastics on microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa during chronic toxicity
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of continuous and accumulative exposure to polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (80 nm) on Chlorella pyrenoidosa during chronic toxicity were investigated.

Sun Qiyuan,Hitomi Matsutani +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of atrazine (ATZ) on pristine and aged microplastics were investigated using kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic models.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
