Multi-omics analysis reveals the molecular responses of Torreya grandis shoots to nanoplastic pollutant.
TL;DR: In this article , the physiological and biochemical responses of T. grandis seedlings to polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) with a diameter of 100 nm were systematically studied inthe present study, which showed that PSNPs enhanced the accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance and the activities of catalase and peroxidase.

Micro- and Nanoplastics Removal Mechanisms in Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Review
Prangya Ranjan Rout,Anee Mohanty,Aastha,Anayata Sharma,Mehak Miglani,Dezhao Liu,Sunita Varjani +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors review the treatment processes presently employed for micro and nano-plastics removal in conventional wastewater treatment plants to upgrade the existing designs further and discuss the effectiveness of advanced treatment processes, such as membrane technologies, advanced oxidation process, electro-coagulation, nano technology, etc., in eliminating MNPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of microplastic impacts on seagrasses, epiphytes, and associated sediment communities.
TL;DR: In this paper , the potential impacts microplastics have on relevant seagrass plant, epiphyte, and sediment processes and functions are synthesized by synthesizing the potential impact microplastic has on relevant SEAGrass plants and their associated epiphysic and sediment communities.

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.
