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:

Enantioselective effects of the fungicide metconazole on photosynthetic activity in Microcystis flos-aquae.
Ling Li,Peiling Huang,Junjie Li +2 more
TL;DR: The observations indicated that the enantiomers of MEZ pose different toxicities to M. flos-aquae, with the cis-enantiomers more toxic than the trans-en anti-freeze, helpful for evaluating their eco-environment risk.

Probing the nanoplastics adsorbed by microalgae in water using polarized light scattering
Shijun Yu,Dai Jincai,Ran Liao,Lei Chen,Weibo Zhong,Hongjian Wang,Yuelu Jiang,Jiajin Li,Hui Ma +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a backward 120° polarized light scattering device was used to measure the polarization parameters of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, before and after the adsorption of nanoplastics.

Preliminary Study on the Distribution, Source, and Ecological Risk of Typical Microplastics in Karst Groundwater in Guizhou Province, China
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the occurrence characteristics of microplastic in karst groundwater to clarify the factors affecting the distribution and migration of MPs, and showed that rainfall events significantly changed the abundance and migration behavior of MPs.

Microplastics’ analysis in water: Easy handling of samples by a new Thermal Extraction Desorption-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) methodology
TL;DR: In this article , a new TED-GC/MS method for microplastics identification is developed, where the whole filter with solids collected from water is thermal treated in a furnace, instead of using a small portion in a Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) device.

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.
