Monitoring of microplastic pollution in the Arctic: recent developments in polymer identification, quality assurance and control, and data reporting

Sebastian Primpke et al.

Summary: The pollution caused by plastics in the environment, including the Arctic region, is a growing concern globally. While larger plastic pieces are easily noticeable, the presence of smaller microplastics poses a threat to Arctic biota and human health. This review discusses the analytical tools, quality assurance, and quality control measures necessary for the identification, quantification, and characterization of microplastics in the Arctic, as well as the importance of standardized data reporting.

Comprehensive Effects of Temperature, Salinity, and Current Velocity on the Microplastic Abundance in Offshore Area

Jin Liu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of hydrological conditions on the abundance of microplastics in three offshore areas. The results showed that current velocity was the most important factor impacting microplastic accumulation or diffusion. Seawater temperature and salinity also played a role in microplastic abundance through their influence on seawater movement and density. It is feasible to use regression models based on hydrological data to analyze and predict the migration and accumulation characteristics of microplastics.

Unpalatable Plastic: Efficient Taste Discrimination of Microplastics in Planktonic Copepods

Jiayi Xu et al.

Summary: The study shows that copepods display taste discrimination towards microplastics, rejecting a high percentage of them after contact. This suggests a low risk of microplastic ingestion by zooplankton and a minimal impact on the vertical exportation of fecal pellets in marine ecosystems.

Microplastics do not increase bioaccumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in Arctic zooplankton but trigger feeding suppression under co-exposure conditions

R. Almeda et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Arctic sea ice has high concentrations of microplastics, and the reduction of sea ice in the Arctic opens up new opportunities for the oil and maritime industries, increasing the risk of oil pollution in the region. Copods exposed to microplastics and crude oil may exhibit behavioral stress responses, such as feeding suppression.

Microplastics accumulate to thin layers in the stratified Baltic Sea

Emilia Uurasjarvi et al.

Summary: In the Baltic Sea, water stratification creates thin layers where microplastics, mainly consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate, accumulate. Sampling from deep water layers in addition to surface waters is necessary to obtain a comprehensive overview of the abundance of microplastics in stratified water bodies. The density of microplastics did not show a trend with sampling depth, likely due to the effects of biofilm formation on sinking rates.

Microplastics in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica): A Forensic Approach for Discrimination between Environmental and Vessel-Induced Microplastics

Clara Leistenschneider et al.

Summary: Microplastic pollution was found in the surface and subsurface waters of the Weddell Sea, with a significant portion of identified fragments originating from vessel-induced contamination. Differentiation based on visual characteristics and FTIR spectroscopy may not be sufficient for accurately determining contamination sources.

Occurrence and spatial distribution of microplastics in the surface waters of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga

Juris Aigars et al.

Summary: This study compared the distribution and composition of microplastic debris in the Gulf of Riga and the Eastern Gotland Basin in the Baltic Sea. The researchers found that the abundance of microplastic particles varied among different stations, with fibers and fragments being the predominant types, and polyethylene and polypropylene being the main polymer types encountered. The concentrations of micro-debris observed fell within the reported range of values from other regions in the Baltic Sea.

Marine Litter Windrows: A Strategic Target to Understand and Manage the Ocean Plastic Pollution

Andres Cozar et al.

Summary: Litter windrows are aggregations of floating litter on the ocean surface within a submesoscale domain (<10 km horizontally), often forming stripes tens to thousands of meters long. They provide unique opportunities for research on marine litter pollution and can be used to flag areas and periods of severe pollution for management and impact prevention purposes.

Effects of microplastics on marine copepods

Zhuoan Bai et al.

Summary: Microplastic contamination is considered a global environmental issue in marine ecosystems. Studies have shown that the bioavailability and toxicity of microplastics in marine copepods depend on various factors such as shape, size, abundance, and properties of plastics. Microplastics can have adverse effects on copepods, impeding food intake and causing physiological stress, with species- and stage-specific responses to exposure. Additionally, microplastics can serve as vectors for organic contaminants, increasing their toxicity in copepods and exacerbating their impact in marine ecosystems. Further multidisciplinary research is needed to better understand the biological impacts of microplastics and assess their ecological consequences.

Source- and polymer-specific size distributions of fine microplastics in surface water in an urban rive

Yutaka Kameda et al.

Summary: The study found that in a river in Japan, microplastics (MPs) in the upstream area primarily originate from residential wastewater, while in downstream urban areas they come from non-point sources of pollution; chemical contaminant concentrations are significantly higher in the downstream area; the size distribution of all MPs fits the Weibull distribution function, and polymer types have a clear impact on size distribution.

Microplastics and plankton: Knowledge from laboratory and field studies to distinguish contamination from pollution

Sabrina M. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: Microplastics are hypothesized to have a major impact on smaller organisms such as plankton, with current research mainly focusing on laboratory studies. Field studies are relatively scarce, and there is a lack of comparability between laboratory and field conditions and methods. Knowledge gaps include the lack of field studies, incomparability between laboratory and field conditions, and limited diversity of plankton species studied.

Eva R. Kozak et al.

Summary: The study on the impact of sea surface microplastic concentration in four tropical bays in central Mexican Pacific found that there was no significant difference in fiber concentration among bays and seasons, while fragment concentration was significantly higher in Manzanillo and Santiago. Raman spectroscopy data revealed different polymer types, and non-metric multidimensional scaling showed distinct microplastic distribution in different bays.

Distribution Patterns of Floating Microplastics in Open and Coastal Waters of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Ionian, Aegean, and Levantine Seas)

Argyro Adamopoulou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution patterns of surface floating microplastics in the Ionian, Aegean, and Levantine Seas, revealing the potential impact of sea surface slicks on the distribution of microplastics. The majority of microplastics in open waters were fragments, with polyethylene being the most abundant polymer type. The findings highlight the significance of local oceanographic conditions in affecting microplastics concentrations, with differences in polymer types observed between open sea and coastal regions.
