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:

Single and combined effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and Cd on submerged plants Ceratophyllum demersum L.
TL;DR: In this paper , the potential effects of single and co-Cd/PSNPs exposure on Ceratophyllum demersum L. (C.demersum) were explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of mangrove (Kandelia obovata) growth, photosynthesis, and rhizosphere soil properties to microplastic pollution.
TL;DR: In this paper , the toxicities of three typical MPs in mangroves: polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylchloride were explored and the results showed that MPs multiply restricted root growth, leaf ionome, chlorophyll concentration, and photosynthetic efficiency, changed leaf photochemical efficiency and excited energy distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unmasking effects of masks: Microplastics released from disposable surgical face masks induce toxic effects in microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella sp.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantified and characterized the released microplastics from the three layers of the mask and found that the outer layer of the face mask released more microplastic than middle and inner layers.

Roles of extracellular polymeric substances on Microcystis aeruginosa exposed to different sizes of polystyrene microplastics.
Yuhao Song,Baoxin Zhang,Mengying Si,Zixuan Chen,Jinyu Geng,Fei Liang,Muchen Xi,Xiaomei Liu,Renjun Wang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , three sizes of polystyrene (PS) MPs (20 nm, 100 nm, and 1 μm) were chosen for evaluating the compositions of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by Microcystis aeruginosa during exposure.

Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics in Marine Zooplankton
Silvia Morgana,Chiara Gambardella,Elisa Costa,Veronica Piazza,Francesca Garaventa,Marco Faimali +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors recognized that marine microplastics are an emerging pollutant accumulating in marine environment, throughout the water column and on the seabed, and over 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally each year and almost 10% of the annual production ends up into the oceans, where degradation of plastic objects can take several hundred years.

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.

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.
