[HTML][HTML] Dispersion, accumulation, and the ultimate fate of microplastics in deep-marine environments: a review and future directions
An estimated 8.3 billion tons of non-biodegradable plastic has been produced over the last
65 years. Much of this is not recycled and is disposed into the natural environment, has a …

The potential of microplastics as carriers of metals
Microplastics can adsorb chemical pollutants such as metals or pharmaceuticals, and
transferred them along the food chain. In this work, an investigation of the adsorption of Cd …

Ingestion of microplastics by fish and other prey organisms of cetaceans, exemplified for two large baleen whale species
P Burkhardt-Holm, A N'Guyen - Marine pollution bulletin, 2019 - Elsevier
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 …
