Oceanic Hitchhikers - Assessing Pathogen Risks from Marine Microplastic

Jake Bowley et al.

Summary: As plastic pollution continues to rise, concerns about microplastics acting as vectors for pathogen transport are emerging. While there is a lack of detailed studies, understanding the interactions between microplastics and pathogens is crucial for the aquaculture industry.

Microplastic pollution and ecological risk assessment in an estuarine environment: The Dongshan Bay of China

Zhong Pan et al.

Summary: This study investigated microplastic (MP) pollution in the surface water of Dongshan Bay in southern China, finding that the main sources of MPs were PE, PP, and PS foam, leading to a minor ecological risk. The research results provided baseline data and ecological risk assessment methods for MP pollution in Dongshan Bay.
