Occurrence and characterization of microplastic and mesoplastic pollution in the Migliarino San Rossore, Massaciuccoli Nature Park (Italy)

Costanza Scopetani et al.

Summary: The study focused on the occurrence and identification of mesoplastics and microplastics in sand samples collected from the beach of the Nature Park of Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli in Pisa, Italy. It found that microplastics and mesoplastics were present in all samples with average concentrations of 207 +/- 30 MPs/kg d.w. and 100 +/- 44 MEPs/kg d.w. respectively. The major sources of plastic pollution were considered to be seasonal changes in the flow of the Arno River, industrial activities, and urban footprint.

Microplastic pollution in Chinese urban rivers: The influence of urban factors

Yuyao Xu et al.

Summary: Microplastics are a widely discussed emerging global environmental contaminant, originating mainly from land-based sources and accumulating in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Urban rivers, such as the Fenghua River in Ningbo, China, may play a significant role in transporting microplastic pollution due to the concentrated human activities in urban areas. The study found uneven distribution of microplastic pollution along the river, with concentrations ranging from 300 to 4000 particles per cubic meter, and identified common shapes, sizes, colors, and types of polymers associated with microplastics in the river. Multidimensional scaling analysis revealed relationships between microplastic distribution patterns and seasonal factors as well as levels of urbanization, highlighting the challenges in attributing sources to microplastic pollution in urban rivers.

Unveiling the changes in urban atmospheric CO2 in the time of COVID-19 pandemic: A case study of Florence (Italy)

Stefania Venturi et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, cities experienced a significant decrease in CO2 emissions, and a study in the historical center of Florence showed a fast response of CO2 fluxes and Delta C-13-CO2 values to changes in emitting sources. Although the direct impact was unclear, the daily local CO2 enhancement showed a gradual decrease during the lockdown phase and an increase with the resumption of traffic.

Microplastics in the Black Sea sediments

Alessandra Cincinelli et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence, morphology, and identification of microplastics in Black Sea sediments at different depths using a non-invasive method. The research found that microplastics were present in 83% of sediment samples, with polyethylene and polypropylene being the most abundant plastic polymers, and fibers being the dominant type of microplastics in sediments.

Microplastics in freshwater sediment: A review on methods, occurrence, and sources

Ling Yang et al.

Summary: This paper summarizes the occurrence and characteristics of microplastics in freshwater sediments, highlighting their ubiquitous presence and varying abundance in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. The dominant shape of microplastics in freshwater sediment is fibers with a diameter less than 1 mm, with white/transparent and PE/PS as the most frequently recorded colors and types. The consistency in morphological characteristics and components of microplastics between marine and freshwater sediments may indicate their interlinkages and source-pathways.

Microplastic and artificial cellulose microfibers ingestion by reef fishes in the Guarapari Islands, southwestern Atlantic

Raphael M. Macieira et al.

Summary: The study found that some samples of 21 reef fish species from the southwestern Atlantic had ingested microplastics and artificial cellulose particles, with the tomtate grunt ingesting the most particles among the species. Man-made cellulose fibers were more common than microplastics in the samples.

Microplastic fibers - Underestimated threat to aquatic organisms

Anja Rebelein et al.

Summary: Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments has increased significantly in the past decade, with particular attention being paid to the impact of microplastic fibers. Studies have shown that microplastic fibers have various negative effects on aquatic organisms, especially those at the base of the food chain.

Microplastics and fibers from three areas under different anthropogenic pressures in Douro river

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: This study assessed the concentrations of microplastics and fibers in three different areas of the Douro river in Porto, Portugal. The results suggest that the wastewater treatment effluent and boat dock/maintenance are likely sources of high concentrations of microplastics and fiber contamination.

Microplastics in aquatic environments: A review on occurrence, distribution, toxic effects, and implications for human health

Gustavo Axel Elizalde-Velazquez et al.

Summary: Microplastics, which are fragments, fibers, granules, flakes, and spheres with a diameter or length of less than 5 mm, can enter aquatic environments through the breakdown of larger plastics or sewage spillage. Once in the environment, they may be transported via wind and water movement, posing a threat to aquatic organisms and potentially affecting human health. Research focuses on the distribution of microplastics in global aquatic ecosystems, their impact on aquatic organisms, and the potential toxic effects on humans.

Ingestion of microplastics by Hypanus guttatus stingrays in the Western Atlantic Ocean (Brazilian Amazon Coast)

Tamyris Pegado et al.

Summary: This study is the first to document the ingestion of microplastics by Longnose stingrays in the Western Atlantic Ocean. It found that fibers were the most common type of microplastic ingested and provided a baseline for future research on microplastic ingestion by dasyatid rays in the Atlantic Ocean.
