Elimination of microplastics from the aquatic milieu: A dream to achieve.
Anirban Goutam Mukherjee,Uddesh Ramesh Wanjari,Pragya Bradu,Megha Patil,Antara Biswas,Reshma Murali,Kaviyarasi Renu,Abhijit Dey,Balachandar Vellingiri,Ganesan Raja,Mahalaxmi Iyer,Abilash Valsala Gopalakrishnan +11 more
TL;DR: In this article , a review provides in-depth knowledge of how microplastics interact with different toxic organic chemicals, antibiotics, and heavy metals in the aquatic environment and its consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity assessments of acrylamide in aquatic environment using two algae Nitzschia closterium and Scenedesmus quadricauda
TL;DR: The expanding production and widespread application of acrylamide caused inevitable release to aquatic ecosystems by monitoring cell abundance, total chlorophyll content, maximum photosystem II (PSII) quantum yield (Fv/Fm), and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrochar Alleviated the Inhibitory Effects of Polyvinyl Chloride Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Anaerobic Granular Sludge for Wastewater Treatment
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a strategy for mitigating inhibitory effects of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) on anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) for wastewater treatment.
Book ChapterDOI
Occurrence and Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics on Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the potential adverse effects of microplastic contamination at environmentally reported particle range (since most of the effects noted and/or overestimated at relatively higher concentrations) and protection of ecosystem for sustainable development are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the negatively influential and potentially toxic mechanism of single and combined micro-sized polyethylene and petroleum to Chlorella vulgaris at the cellular and molecular levels.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the toxicities and their mechanisms of micro-sized polyethylene (mPE) and their combination with petroleum to Chlorella vulgaris, and found that mPE reduced petroleum toxicity in C. vulgaris via regulating the ABC transporter, eukaryotic ribosome synthesis, and the citrate cycle metabolic pathways.

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.
