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.

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.

Evidence of Microplastic Translocation in Wild-Caught Fish and Implications for Microplastic Accumulation Dynamics in Food Webs

Hayley K. McIlwraith et al.

Summary: Research found that larger fish have higher microplastic loads, but smaller fish have more translocated microplastics. There is no evidence of biomagnification of microplastics, with excretion of translocated particles or growth dilution possibly occurring instead of bioaccumulation.

The global threat from plastic pollution

Matthew MacLeo et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution that accumulates and is poorly reversible in the environment can have significant negative impacts such as changes to ecosystems, biological effects, and societal impacts. Therefore, a global response is needed to rapidly reduce plastic emissions through reductions in consumption of virgin plastic materials and internationally coordinated waste management strategies.

Preparation of biological samples for microplastic identification by Nile Red

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: Various methods have been used to isolate and identify microplastics from biological samples, with Nile Red staining as an effective technique. Specific treatments can efficiently remove natural organic matter from biological samples for Nile Red staining, producing good results in sample identification.

Biofouling impacts on polyethylene density and sinking in coastal waters: A macro/micro tipping point?

Linda A. Amaral-Zettler et al.

Summary: The formation of microbial biofilms is found to increase the density of plastic and cause sinking, with various fouling communities playing a significant role in the sinking of buoyant plastic debris in the ocean.

Solvent-Based Elimination of Organic Matter from Marine-Collected Plastics

Amaia Mendoza et al.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different solvents for removing organic matter and biofouling from plastic litter extracted from the Spanish Atlantic and Mediterranean coast. Results indicate that hydrogen peroxide is the most effective solvent without causing damage to the plastic samples.
