Polystyrene microplastics and nanoplastics distinctively affect anaerobic sludge treatment for hydrogen and methane production.
TL;DR: In this article , distinct responses of hydrogen-producing and methane-producing sludge systems were comprehensively evaluated with polystyrene microplastics and nanoplastics (PS-NPs) existence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of microplastics on the toxicity of chlorpyrifos and mercury on the marine microalgae Rhodomonas lens.
TL;DR: In this article , the toxicity of polyethylene MPs (plain and oxidized) and the model pollutants chlorpyrifos (CPF) and mercury (Hg) on the red microalgae Rhodomonas lens was investigated.

Microplastics: Identification, Toxicity and Their Remediation from Aqueous Streams
TL;DR: In this article , the identification and removal of microplastics from wastewaters are the main issues and the toxicity produced by the microplastic and their effects is also discussed.

Beatriz Rios-Fuster,Montserrat Compa,Carme Alomar,Mercè Morató,Diane Ryfer,Margarita Villalonga,Salud Deudero +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the presence of microplastics in seafloor sediments from a Mediterranean MPA has been investigated, and the authors highlight the ubiquitous presence of MPs in marine environments in both general abundances and shape of items.

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.
