Effects of polyethylene-type microplastics on the growth and primary production of the freshwater phytoplankton species Scenedesmus armatus and Microcystis aeruginosa
A. Sánchez-Fortún,Carmen Fajardo,Carmen Martín,A. D’ors,Mar Nande,G. Mengs,G. Costa,María Luisa Martín,S. Sánchez-Fortún +8 more
TL;DR: Three polyethylene-type microspheres had the ability to alter the photosynthetic activity of the green algae Scenedesmus armatus and the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa strains after 28 days of exposure to 250, 500 and 1000 μg mL−1 concentrations.

Cell size matters: Nano- and micro-plastics preferentially drive declines of large marine phytoplankton due to co-aggregation
Craig J. Dedman,Joseph Alexander Christie-Oleza,Joseph Alexander Christie-Oleza,Víctor Fernández-Juárez,Pedro Echeveste +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the smaller fraction of plastic particles (~50nm and 2µm polystyrene spheres) in the marine environment and find that the plastic exposure does not follow traditional trends in ecotoxicological research, since large phytoplankton appear particularly susceptible towards plastics exposure despite their lower surface to volume ratios.

Cell size matters: Nano- and micro-plastics preferentially drive declines of large marine phytoplankton due to co-aggregation
TL;DR: In this paper , the smaller fraction of plastic particles (50 nm and 2 µm polystyrene spheres) was used to study the effect of plastic pollution on marine phytoplankton.

Interplay of plastic pollution with algae and plants: hidden danger or a blessing?
Erna Karalija,María Carbó,Andrea Coppi,Ilaria Colzi,Marco Dainelli,Mateo Gašparović,Tine Grebenc,Cristina Gonnelli,Vassilis M. Papadakis,S. Pilić,Nataša Šibanc,Luis Valledor,Anna Poma,Federico Martinelli +13 more
TL;DR: In this article , a review gives insight into known aspects of plants' interplay with plastics and how plants' ability to absorb plastic particles can be utilized to remove plastics from water and soil systems.

The development and application of advanced analytical methods in microplastics contamination detection: A critical review.
Yongkai Ye,Keqiang Yu,Yanru Zhao +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the derivation, transport, and classification of microplastics and highlighted the harmfulness of micro-plastics which would bring microplastic pollution to the environment and potential damage to organisms, and various analytical methods were classified into thermal analytical method, spectral analytical approach, and other analytical methods based on detection principles.

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.

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.
