A plastic world: A review of microplastic pollution in the freshwaters of the Earth's poles

Federico Citterich et al.

Summary: Microplastic (MP) pollution, which poses a significant environmental threat, is present in both marine and freshwater environments of the Earth's poles. This review examines the current knowledge of MP pollution in the Arctic, Antarctica, and Third Pole, highlighting its presence in lakes, rivers, snow, and glaciers. The ecological implications of MP pollution include ingestion by animals, damage to digestive tracts, escalation of trophic levels, alteration of microbial communities, and enhancement of ice melting.

Microplastics in equatorial coasts: Pollution hotspots and spatiotemporal variations associated with tropical monsoons

Mui-Choo Jong et al.

Summary: Microplastics < 5 mm are impacting oceanic health and coastal development globally. This study in Southeast Asia reveals the influence of tropical climate and monsoons on the distribution of MP, with significant variations by season and location. Mangroves may serve as important reservoirs for MP, which consist of various morphologies and polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene.

Microplastic-oil-dispersant agglomerates in the marine environment: Formation mechanism and impact on oil dispersion

Min Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the formation mechanism of microplastic-oil-dispersant agglomerates (MODAs) in the ocean and found two different types of agglomerates. The results showed that MODA reduced oil dispersion effectiveness, and the impact varied with the size of the microplastics. Additionally, the salinity and aging status of the microplastics also affected the effectiveness of MODA on oil dispersion.

Impact of intensive mariculture activities on microplastic pollution in a typical semi-enclosed bay: Zhanjiang Bay

Fajin Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that mariculture activities in Zhanjiang Bay accelerated microplastic pollution, especially during the oyster breeding period. Plastic products were the main source of pollution, while the pollution sources in the inner part of the bay were more extensive. Additionally, factors such as economic growth, social development, agriculture structure, and aquaculture development also influenced the local microplastic pollution level.

Transport of microplastics in stormwater treatment systems under freeze-thaw cycles: Critical role of plastic density

Vera S. Koutnik et al.

Summary: This study found that freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate the downward movement of denser microplastics in the subsurface, while smaller microplastics are influenced by the ice-water interface. The findings of this study are important for understanding the migration and distribution of microplastics in groundwater environments.

Microplastic occurrence after conventional and nanofiltration processes at drinking water treatment plants: Preliminary results

Jean-Sebastien Barbier et al.

Summary: This study evaluated microplastic contamination in inlet river water and drinking water at three treatment plants in the Paris region. It found that membrane processes like microfiltration and nanofiltration were more efficient in removing microplastics compared to typical treatment processes. Additionally, the study suggested the possibility of microplastic re-contamination within the distribution network.

Extraction of microplastics from sediment matrices: Experimental comparative analysis

Mel Constant et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficiency of different extracting solutions and isolation methods for separating microplastics from sediment matrices, finding varying extraction rates depending on the type of polymer and solution used. The research highlights the lack of a robust protocol for extracting all types of microplastics from fine sediments and emphasizes the need for further research in this area.

Interactions between microplastics and oil dispersion in the marine environment

Min Yang et al.

Summary: The research found that the interaction between microplastics and oil, along with dispersants, could reduce the effectiveness of oil dispersion, especially under conditions of increased microplastic concentration and aging.

Mesh selectivity of neuston nets for microplastics

Tadashi Tokai et al.

Summary: The study found that the 0.333 mm net had a better retention effect on microplastics smaller than 2.00 mm compared to the 1.00 mm net. The 0.333 mm net is able to retain larger microplastics when selecting for microplastics, but has a poor retention effect on microplastics smaller than 0.4 mm.

What You Net Depends on if You Grab: A Meta-analysis of Sampling Method's Impact on Measured Aquatic Microplastic Concentration

Lisa Watkins et al.

Summary: Different sampling methods result in varying measured microplastic concentrations, with a strong log-linear relationship between sample volume and measured concentration highlighted. Potential biasing factors such as filtration size, net volume overestimation, and contamination were explored and emphasized as important considerations in research.
