Horizontal distribution of surface microplastic concentrations and water-column microplastic inventories in the Chukchi Sea, western Arctic Ocean

Takahito Ikenoue et al.

Summary: The recent influx of microplastics into the Arctic Ocean is causing increased stress on the western Arctic marine ecosystem which is already dealing with sea-ice loss due to global warming. However, there is limited quantitative data on microplastics in the western Arctic Ocean, and the microplastic budget of the water column is unknown. To address this knowledge gap, the researchers observed surface concentrations of microplastics using a neuston net and estimated the total number and mass of microplastics in the entire water column, considering the effect of vertical mixing. The results showed that the Chukchi Sea has lower pollution levels compared to other regions, but there is a significant influx of microplastics from the Pacific Ocean accumulating in various reservoirs.

Environmental degradation and formation of secondary microplastics from packaging material: A polypropylene film case study

Miriam Huber et al.

Summary: A model study on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) films commonly used in packaging was conducted to simulate the formation of microplastics from large-scale objects. The study found that accelerated ultraviolet (UV) aging resulted in chemical degradation and oxidation of the polymer, leading to fragmentation into sub-mm particles. Combining the results with an independent Arrhenius study, the lifetime until sub-mm particle formation was estimated to be between 9 months and 3.2 years, depending on location and climate. These findings provide a possible explanation for the mass loss at the lower end of the particle size distribution of environmental microplastics and the discrepancy between input estimates and actually detected amounts of microplastics.

A simple, rapid and accurate method for the sample preparation and quantification of meso- and microplastics in food and food waste streams

Siebe Lievens et al.

Summary: Plastics are widely produced and used globally, resulting in the presence of plastic particles in the environment and food. Plastic particles can also be found in energy-rich waste biomass from the food industry, supermarkets, and restaurants. These waste streams can be used for biogas production or as feed for insects, which convert it into valuable biomass. However, the presence of plastic particles in these applications poses a threat to the environment, as well as human and animal health. Therefore, there is a need to determine the (micro)plastic content to assess the potential danger. A closed-vessel microwave-assisted acid digestion method was developed to accurately determine the meso- and microplastic content in food matrices. The method was tested on different plastics mixed with a food matrix, resulting in high plastic recovery and minimal changes to the intrinsic characteristics of the plastics.

Insights into the degradation of microplastics by Fenton oxidation: From surface modification to mineralization

David Ortiz et al.

Summary: This work aims to evaluate the fate of microplastics (MPs) during Fenton oxidation. The results show that there is only slight weight loss of MPs after Fenton oxidation, regardless of the polymer type. However, the oxidation yield increases significantly with decreasing particle size. MPs undergo important surface changes due to the introduction of oxygenated groups, making them more acidic and hydrophilic. Additionally, the size of MPs gradually reduces. These findings are crucial for understanding the removal mechanism of MPs by the Fenton process.
