Adverse effects of dietary virgin (nano)microplastics on growth performance, immune response, and resistance to ammonia stress and pathogen challenge in juvenile sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka)

Ji Liu et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the adverse effects of dietary polystyrene nanoplastics and microplastics on sea cucumber growth, oxidative stress induction, immune response, ammonia detoxification, and bacterial pathogen resistance. It was found that PS-N/MPs significantly impacted the growth and development of sea cucumbers, with PS-NPs showing more toxic effects than PS-MPs. The findings provide valuable information for understanding the size-dependent toxic effects of PS-N/MPs and early risk warning on marine invertebrates.

Occurrence and distribution of micro(meso)plastic-sorbed heavy metals and metalloids in sediments, Gulf of Guinea coast (SE Atlantic)

Omowunmi H. Fred-Ahmadu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the elemental occurrence and distribution of potentially toxic and geochemical metals in microplastics along designated coastlines. The results showed that metal concentrations in beach and lagoon microplastics were influenced by the type of plastics, with foam plastics having a stronger affinity for metals.

Sorption and desorption of petroleum hydrocarbons on biodegradable and nondegradable microplastics

Xiaowei Song et al.

Summary: The study found that both biodegradable and nondegradable plastics interact with petroleum hydrocarbons in a similar manner, serving as transportation vectors for the compounds. Different types of microplastics exhibit variations in sorption capacity, likely related to their crystallinity and rubber state.

Physisorption and Chemisorption Mechanisms Influencing Micro (Nano) Plastics-Organic Chemical Contaminants Interactions: A Review

Omowumi D. Agboola et al.

Summary: Microplastics act as sources and vectors of organic contaminants in the environment, raising concerns for potential harmful impacts on the environment, biota, and human health. Microplastic particles exhibit a higher affinity for hydrophobic organic contaminants underwater. However, the concentrations of organic contaminants adsorbed on microplastic surfaces and their distribution are greatly influenced by environmental factors and physicochemical properties in aquatic environments.

Microplastics and other anthropogenic particles are prevalent in mussels from San Francisco Bay, and show no correlation with PAHs

Natasha Klasios et al.

Summary: The study found microplastics and other anthropogenic microparticles in bivalves from San Francisco Bay, with significant variations in abundance between different sites, and no correlation between the number of microparticles and PAH concentrations. Bivalves may be suitable as bioindicators for microplastic levels in sediment, but not in surface water.

The influence of depositional environment on the abundance of microplastic pollution on beaches in the Bristol Channel, UK

Daniel R. Wilson et al.

Summary: A detailed assessment of microplastic pollution in the Bristol Channel, UK, revealed widespread contamination on beaches, with fragments and industrial plastic pellets being the most common types recovered. Analysis indicated that microplastic burdens were higher on lower energy beaches with finer sediments, highlighting the role of depositional environment in determining microplastic abundance.

Organic pollutants in deep sea: Occurrence, fate, and ecological implications

Edmond Sanganyado et al.

Summary: The deep sea plays a critical role in global biogeochemical and nutrient cycling functions, but is threatened by organic pollutants from anthropogenic sources. The distribution of organic pollutants in the deep sea is influenced by various factors, including biogeochemical and geophysical factors. Additionally, the transport of organic pollutants in deep sea can be facilitated by steep geomorphologies such as submarine canyons, ridges, and valleys.

Photochemical transformation of decachlorobiphenyl (PCB-209) on the surface of microplastics in aqueous solution

Nannan Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the photochemical transformation behaviors of PCB-209 on the surface of polystyrene under simulated solar irradiation, revealing that degradation is slowest at pH 7.0. The presence of NO3-, NH4+ and high concentrations of humic acid inhibits the removal of PCB-209. Additionally, the study shows that the interaction between PCB-209 and polystyrene generates various transformation products, some of which are toxic to aquatic organisms according to toxicity predictions.

Summary: Plastic pollution poses a global concern for its harmful impacts on wildlife, particularly the mechanism of additives leaching from plastics. Understanding the chemical identity and exposure to additives is crucial to assessing the risk to wildlife. While there is a breadth of knowledge on additive release from plastics in various industries, there are still limited reports with inconsistent experimental approaches in this area.
