Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of Biofilm Formation on the Fate and Potential Effects of Microplastic in the Aquatic Environment
TL;DR: The physical interactions of early microbial colonization on plastic surfaces and their reciprocal influence on the weathering processes and vertical transport as well as sorption and release of contaminants by MP are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on biota: a review.
Sadasivam Anbumani,Poonam Kakkar +1 more
TL;DR: The present review focused on the ecological impact of microplastics on biota at different trophic levels, its uptake, accumulation, and excretion etc., and its plausible mechanistic toxicity with risk assessment approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Insights into the Aging Behavior of Microplastics Accelerated by Advanced Oxidation Processes
TL;DR: This study investigated the alteration properties of polystyrene and high-density polyethylene microplastics by heat-activated K2S2O8 and Fenton treatments to improve the understanding of their long-term natural aging in aquatic environments and indicated that the O/C ratio was an alternative parameter to the carbonyl index (CI) to quantitatively describe the surface alteration properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source and potential risk assessment of suspended atmospheric microplastics in Shanghai
TL;DR: An estimation of the ecological risk from SAMPs indicated that a minor ecological consequence was present, necessitating further evaluation of SAMPs pollution, and preliminary evaluation indicated that textile clothes are likely major source of the airborne microplastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoplankton response to polystyrene microplastics: Perspective from an entire growth period.
Yufeng Mao,Hainan Ai,Yi Chen,Zhenyu Zhang,Peng Zeng,Li Kang,Wei Li,Weikang Gu,Qiang He,Hong Li +9 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that polystyrene microplastics can impair but then enhance algae growth, which will be helpful in understanding the ecological risks of microplastic.

Toxicity of nanoparticles of CuO, ZnO and TiO2 to microalgae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
TL;DR: This is one of the first systematic studies on effects of metal oxide nanoparticles on algal growth and the first describing toxic effects of nano CuO towards algae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion and transfer of microplastics in the planktonic food web.
TL;DR: This study shows for the first time the potential of plastic microparticle transfer via planktonic organisms from one trophic level (mesozooplankton) to a higher level (macrozooplankton).
Journal ArticleDOI
The present and future of microplastic pollution in the marine environment.
TL;DR: The first in-depth exploration of the effects of microplastics on the marine environment and biota is provided, with new themes and important approaches for future work proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic level transfer of microplastic: Mytilus edulis (L.) to Carcinus maenas (L.).
Paul Farrell,Kathryn Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to show 'natural' trophic transfer of microplastic, and its translocation to haemolymph and tissues of a crab, and has implications for the health of marine organisms, the wider food web and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoplastic affects growth of S. obliquus and reproduction of D. magna.
TL;DR: Results are the first to show that direct life history shifts in algae and Daphnia populations may occur as a result of exposure to nanoplastic.
