Measuring impacts of microplastic treatments via image recognition on immobilised particles below 100 μmSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 Số 1 - 2021

AbstractThe treatment of samples for microplastic (MP) analysis requires purification steps that sufficiently reduce the non-MP content while preserving the targeted particles integrity. Besides their macromolecular structure this also encompasses their in situ numbers and sizes. However, any step of sample manipulation will come at a cost: particle loss, fragmenta...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk-based management framework for microplastics in aquatic ecosystemsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-10 - 2022

Microplastic particles (MPs) are ubiquitous across a wide range of aquatic habitats but determining an appropriate level of risk management is hindered by a poor understanding of environmental risk. Here, we introduce a risk management framework for aquatic ecosystems that identifies four critical management thresholds, ranging from low regulatory concern to the highest level of concern where poll...... hiện toàn bộ
After the sun: a nanoscale comparison of the surface chemical composition of UV and soil weathered plasticsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-15 - 2023

Once emitted into the environment, macro- (MaP), micro- (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) are exposed to environmental weathering. Yet, the effects of biogeochemical weathering factors occurring in the soil environment are unknown. As the transport, fate, and toxicity of MP and NP depend directly on their surface properties, it is crucial to characterize their transformation in soils to better predict th...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring expert perceptions about microplastics: from sources to potential solutionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Maja Grünzner, Sabine Pahl, Mathew P. White, Richard C. Thompson
Concern about plastic pollution, including microplastics, is high amongst European citizens, and effective actions are needed to reduce microplastic pollution. However, there is still uncertainty and debate about the major sources, impacts, and in particular the solutions. The aim of the current study was to gather expert perceptions about the risks of different microplastic sources to the natural...... hiện toàn bộ
Status quo of operation procedures for soil sampling to analyze microplasticsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-14 - 2023

Since 2015, the determination of microplastics (MPs; < 5 mm) in soil has gained increasing attention. However, usual analytical protocols still render a comparison of results challenging. This structured review integrates an in-depth screening of scientific articles (n = 106; from 1980 to 2022) that focused on determining MPs in soils. The different studies were divided into groups regarding (i) M...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk characterization of microplastics in San Francisco Bay, CaliforniaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-18 - 2022

Assessing microplastics risk to aquatic ecosystems has been limited by lack of holistic exposure data and poor understanding of biological response thresholds. Here we take advantage of two recent advances, a toxicological meta-analysis that produced biotic response thresholds and a method to quantitatively correct exposure data for sampling methodology biases, to assess microplastic exposure risk...... hiện toàn bộ
Farm animals as a critical link between environmental and human health impacts of micro-and nanoplasticsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024
Hilde Aardema, A. Dick Vethaak, Jorke H. Kamstra, Juliette Legler
Plastic pollution is an increasing global health concern, particularly the ever-increasing amount of tiny plastic particles commonly referred to as micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs). Most research to date on MNP exposure and hazards has focused on environmental species such as aquatic organisms and, more recently, humans, leaving impacts on farm animals largely unstudied. MNPs have been detected in a...... hiện toàn bộ
