Accumulation and ecotoxicological risk of weathered polyethylene (wPE) microplastics on green mussel (Perna viridis)

G. Hariharan et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that organisms, including humans, are exposed to microplastics, both directly and indirectly. This study specifically focused on the accumulation behavior of weathered Polyethylene (wPE) microplastics in Perna viridis, revealing that higher concentrations of wPE led to decreased feeding rates and increased accumulation in the intestines of exposed organisms. Biomarker analysis also showed significant alterations in metabolism and histology due to wPE exposure, highlighting the potential adverse effects on internal organs and overall marine ecosystem health.

An emerging source of plastic pollution: Environmental presence of plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) debris related to COVID-19 in a metropolitan city

Justine Ammendolia et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in production, consumption, and disposal of personal protective equipment (PPE), mainly made of single-use plastic. The study conducted in the metropolitan city of Toronto, Canada found that disposable gloves were the most common PPE debris item, followed by face masks and disinfectant wipes. High densities of PPE debris were observed in grocery store parking lots and hospital districts, while lower densities were found in residential areas and recreational trails. Proper disposal methods for PPE debris should be improved through municipal efforts informed by waste pathways.

Unlocking the surge in demand for personal and protective equipment (PPE) and improvised face coverings arising from coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic - Implications for efficacy, re-use and sustainable waste management

Neil J. Rowan et al.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 presents challenges in sustaining the supply chain for personal protective equipment. Effective measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission include mitigating aerosol transmission in healthcare settings and promoting proper face mask usage among the public. Future demand for PPE will be influenced by changes in medical practices.

Sorption of chemical contaminants on degradable and non-degradable microplastics: Recent progress and research trends

Fernando G. Torres et al.

Summary: This study investigated the sorption behavior of chemicals on microplastics and their impact on the environment. It was found that degradable microplastics have a higher affinity for hydrophobic contaminants, but research on degradable microplastics is still limited.

Enhanced toxicity of triphenyl phosphate to zebrafish in the presence of micro- and nano-plastics

Junyi He et al.

Summary: The presence of microplastics, especially NPS, can exacerbate the toxic effects of TPhP on the liver and gonads of fish, while having a sex-dependent impact on hormone balance and vitellogenin content. Additionally, the combination of TPhP and PS significantly reduces the reproductive performance of zebrafish, affecting egg production, fertilization rate, and hatchability.

Effect of microplastics on ecosystem functioning: Microbial nitrogen removal mediated by benthic invertebrates

Yuyue Huang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that microplastics have impacts on ecosystem functions mediated by benthic biota, especially at higher concentrations, indicating adverse effects on microbial nitrogen removal mediated by macroinvertebrates. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding the comprehensive impacts of microplastics on the functioning in freshwater ecosystems.

New plastic formations in the Anthropocene

Gabriel Enrique De-la-Torre et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution poses a significant challenge in the Anthropocene, with different plastic formations presenting varying threats and impacts in marine environments. Specific sampling protocols and monitoring plans tailored to each plastic formation are needed to better understand and address the implications of these new plastic forms.

Unprecedented plastic-made personal protective equipment (PPE) debris in river outlets into Jakarta Bay during COVID-19 pandemic

Muhammad Reza Cordova et al.

Summary: Increased plastic use during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to challenges in reducing marine plastic debris. In Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, there was a 5% increase in debris abundance and a 23-28% decrease in weight in March-April 2020 compared to March-April 2016, with plastics making up 46% of the river debris.

Influence of the source of starch and plasticizers on the environmental burden of starch-Brazil nut fiber biocomposite production: A life cycle assessment approach

Pedro M. Rojas-Bringas et al.

Summary: In the face of the global plastic pollution crisis, bio-based polymers have been suggested as a potential alternative. Studies have shown that starch-based biocomposites have lower environmental impacts compared to conventional materials, with the type of starch and plasticizer significantly influencing production. Brazil nut fibers are highlighted as an eco-friendly and low-burden natural filler due to their easy processing and agricultural waste origin.
