Seeking for a perfect (non-spherical) microplastic particle-The most comprehensive review on microplastic laboratory research

Ula Rozman et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the results of 715 laboratory studies published in the last five years on microplastics, finding that the majority of microplastic particles used are manufactured polystyrene spheres, with half of the studies failing to characterize the particles. There is also a discrepancy between microplastics used in the laboratory and those found in the environment, highlighting the need for more environmentally relevant research in the future.

Long-term interactions between microplastics and floating macrophyte Lemna minor: The potential for phytoremediation of microplastics in the aquatic environment

Ula Rozman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between microplastics and the aquatic plant Lemna minor. It found that the plant can tolerate high concentrations of microplastics and can collect them from the water surface, suggesting that phytoremediation using floating plants may be a potential method for in situ removal of microplastics from the aquatic environment.

Effects of polystyrene microplastic on uptake and toxicity of copper and cadmium in hydroponic wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.)

Xueying Zong et al.

Summary: PS microplastics can adsorb heavy metals copper and cadmium, thereby reducing their toxic effects on wheat seedlings to some extent. Compared with single heavy metals treatments, the combination of PS microplastics and heavy metals helps increase chlorophyll content, enhance photosynthesis, and reduce ROS accumulation.

An extensive characterization of various environmentally relevant microplastics - Material properties, leaching and ecotoxicity testing

Ula Rozman et al.

Summary: Different types of microplastics have varying effects on duckweed, with rough-surfaced and sharp-edged microplastics significantly reducing root length, while Bakelite-made microplastics exhibit high leaching and ecotoxicity potential. In contrast, natural particles have no negative impact on duckweed, indicating that the ecotoxicity of microplastics is influenced by their physico-chemical properties.
