Microplastic pollution is a global issue. It is present even in remote and pristine coastal and
marine environments, likely causing impacts of unknown scale. Microplastics are primary …

Seabirds are declining faster than any other group of birds, with plastic ingestion and
associated contaminants linked to negative impacts on marine wildlife, including> 170 …

This study focused on quantifying and characterising microbeads in biosolids (ie, treated
sewage sludge), and in examining interactions of microbeads with trace elements when …

Abstract Knowledge on microplastic (MP) ingestion by cetaceans is difficult to obtain. We
infer the potential for MP uptake by cetaceans from the occurrence of MP in prey species …

Microplastic has been ubiquitously detected in freshwater ecosystems. A variety of
freshwater organisms were shown to ingest microplastic particles, while a high potential for …

Plastic pollution has become an increasing environmental threat, and means to mitigate it
need to be developed. Since Taiwan has introduced numerous policies to reduce plastic …

Marine plastic pollution is a global problem with considerable ecological and economic
consequences. Quantifying the amount of plastic in the ocean has been facilitated by …

The quantification of macroplastic fluxes transferred by rivers toward the pelagic
environment requires a better understanding of macrodebris transfer processes in estuarine …

We conducted a pilot study in Hooghly River Estuary (HRE) at ten stations covering rural,
urban and tidally mixed stretches to the confluence to quantify levels of microplastic (MP) …

Because governments have introduced policies involving incentives and penalties to
promote the recycling of plastic waste, it is important to understand the impact of such …
