Discovery and quantification of plastic particle pollution in human blood

Heather A. Leslie et al.

Summary: Plastic particles are widespread pollutants in the environment and food chain, and this study successfully developed a method to measure the presence of plastic particles in human blood. The study found four high production volume polymers in blood samples and demonstrated that plastic particles can be taken up by the human bloodstream.

Trophic transfer of microplastics in a model freshwater microcosm; lack of a consumer avoidance response

Alicia Mateos-Cardenas et al.

Summary: Microplastics are emerging freshwater pollutants that can be transferred through the food chain. In this study, it was found that the freshwater amphipod Gammarus duebeni feeds on plants without avoiding microplastics. The study also observed the fragmentation of microplastics transferred through plant feed, including the presence of nanoplastics in the organism's digestive tracts. However, there was no significant negative effect on the weight and survival of the amphipods. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the trophic transfer and fragmentation of microplastics in freshwater organisms.

Anthropogenic particles in coypu (Myocastor coypus; Mammalia, Rodentia)' faeces: first evidence and considerations about their use as track for detecting microplastic pollution

Luca Gallitelli et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic plastic litter is widespread in all environments, with particular emphasis on aquatic habitats. However, there is limited research on freshwater mammals and microplastics (MP). This study presents the first evidence of anthropogenic particles, including MP, in coypu feces, suggesting their potential use as a bioindicator for MP pollution in wetlands and freshwaters.

Plastic pollution in the Arctic

Melanie Bergmann et al.

Summary: Plastic debris and microplastics are widespread in the Arctic, even in areas without human activity. They come from various sources, both local and distant, and are transported to the Arctic by ocean currents, atmospheric transport, and rivers. Once in the Arctic, plastic pollution accumulates and affects local ecosystems.

Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review

S. Veerasingam et al.

Summary: This review highlights the extensive use of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in microplastic (MP) pollution research since 2004. Over 400 research papers on FTIR techniques in MP pollution research from 2010 to 2019 were identified, focusing on MP characterization, fate, and transport in various environmental matrices. The review provides insights into the current application of FTIR spectroscopy in MP research and future challenges for understanding the risk of MPs.

Plastic ingestion as an evolutionary trap: Toward a holistic understanding

Robson G. Santos et al.

Summary: Human activities are altering ecosystems globally, with plastic pollution playing a predominant role. Wildlife ingest plastic due to factors such as the availability of plastics in the environment, an individual's acceptance threshold, and the overlap of cues given by natural foods and plastics, as identified through the evolutionary trap theory.

Plastic ingestion by Arctic fauna: A review

France Collard et al.

Summary: The distribution of marine plastic litter varies around the world, with the Arctic not significantly less polluted than more populated areas further south. Climate change and increasing maritime activities are expected to exacerbate plastic pollution in the Arctic, posing a growing threat to Arctic fauna. Research gaps include the need for species biomonitoring, more data from the Russian and European Arctic, and experimental studies on the impacts of plastic ingestion on Arctic species.

Freshwater wild biota exposure to microplastics: A global perspective

Alessandra Cera et al.

Summary: Current understanding of the exposure of freshwater organisms to microplastics is largely based on laboratory experiments, but field data provide valuable information on the occurrence and quantification of microplastics in different animal taxa. The research focuses on fish, mollusks, and arthropods, with some attention also given to birds and amphibians. Future studies should explore the impact of microplastics on mammals, reptiles, and plants, which are currently under-examined despite being endangered.
