The abundance of beach litter has been increasing globally during the last decades, and it is
an issue of global concern. A new survey strategy, based on uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV …

Marine plastic pollution poses a potential threat to the ecosystem, but the sources and their
magnitudes remain largely unclear. Existing bottom-up emission inventories vary among …

The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of
thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A …

Increased organized monitoring is key to improving our understanding of marine debris on
shorelines. Shorelines are demonstrated sinks for marine debris but efforts to quantify debris …

Plastic pollution has been reported in the North Atlantic Ocean since the 1970s, yet limited
data over subsequent decades pose challenges when assessing spatio-temporal trends in …

Background: Pregnancy, infancy, and childhood are sensitive windows for environmental
exposures. Yet the health effects of exposure to nano-and microplastics (NMPs) remain …

Vast quantities of debris are beaching at remote islands in the western Indian Ocean. We
carry out marine dispersal simulations incorporating currents, waves, winds, beaching, and …

Abstract Anthropogenic Marine Litter (AML) accumulating on beaches causes damage to
coastal ecosystems and high costs to local communities. Volunteers sampled AML on 130 …

This work addresses a novel bio-solvolysis process for the treatment of complex poly
(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) waste using a biobased monoethylene glycol (BioMEG) as a …

The transport behavior of microplastics (MPs) in the fluvial environment is scarcely
researched. Besides settling velocities and critical shear stress for erosion, only a few …
