Biodegradation of oxidized high-density polyethylene and oxo-degradable plastic using microalgae Dunaliella salina

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effectiveness of microalgae Dunaliella salina in the biodegradation process of oxidized oxium and HDPE plastics and found that the growth rate of D. salina decreased significantly after interaction with oxidized HDPE microplastics compared to oxium interaction.

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.

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks

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.
