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:

The Devastation of Waste Plastic on the Environment and Remediation Processes: A Critical Review
TL;DR: In this article , the adverse effect of plastic waste on the environment and the inhabiting creature, the regulation for managing plastic waste, and their limitations are reviewed, and information on the current route for reducing plastic waste by defining its sources and their applications is provided.

Chronic toxic effects of polystyrene micro-plastics, DCOIT and their combination on marine Chlorella sp.
TL;DR: In this article , the toxic effects of Sea-Nine 211 antifouling agent and polystyrene (PS) on marine Chlorella sp were investigated, and the results showed that all exposed groups promoted the growth of marine chlorella st in the late stage of exposure, and recovery time of marine chlorophyll sp in the exposed group containing PS was earlier.

TL;DR: In this paper , three marine microalgae species (Chlorella marined, Nannochloropsis oculate, and Phaeodactylum tricornutum) and two freshwater species were selected and exposed to the environment relevant concentrations of polystyrene microplastics.

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.
