Numerical modeling of microplastic interaction with fine sediment under estuarine conditions

G. Shiravani et al.

Summary: Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a significant challenge to both human life and the natural system. The irresponsible handling of plastics in daily life has led to a rapid contamination of air, water, and soil with MP. This study focuses on the modeling of MP transport and interaction with fine sediment in estuarine turbidity zones (ETZ), proposing a new approach to improve the formulation of MP settling velocity in these conditions. The model results indicate higher concentrations of MP in ETZ, both in the water column and the bed sediment, which is supported by measurements. Additionally, the model suggests that smaller MP particles are more likely to escape the ETZ and move towards the open sea.

Ranking of potential hazards from microplastics polymers in the marine environment

Zhihao Yuan et al.

Summary: This study developed a risk assessment model to rank microplastics (MPs) of potential health concern in marine exposure pathways. The model considered parameters such as toxicity potential, particle size distribution, and degradation status. The screening strategy identified certain polymers as top-ranking contributors to the risk. The findings can inform scientific community and policymakers for better management of MPs.

Transport mechanisms and fate of microplastics in estuarine compartments: A review

Ali Malli et al.

Summary: This article reviews the transport mechanisms and factors influencing the fate of microplastics in estuaries. The concentration of microplastics varies temporally and spatially, and wind direction and intensity impact their distribution. Estuaries act as temporary sinks for microplastics before being flushed to the ocean.

Microplastics captured by snowfall: A study in Northern Iran

Sajjad Abbasi et al.

Summary: Snow samples collected from various urban and remote regions of northern Iran were found to contain microplastics (MPs), with concentrations varying among samples. Further research is needed to investigate the sources of MPs in the air and factors influencing the presence of MPs in snowfall.

Distribution of microplastics in benthic sediments of Qinghai Lake on the Tibetan Plateau, China

Ning Jiang et al.

Summary: A study conducted on Qinghai Lake in China, the largest brackish lake on the Tibetan Plateau, found that the distribution of microplastics (MPs) with size <5 mm varied from the lakeshore to the center. The distribution was influenced by river inflow, tourism, and minimal human activity. Qinghai Lake was classified as moderately polluted with MPs based on the abundance in the sediments. The dominant characteristics of MPs in the sediments were transparent, fiber-shaped polypropylene.

Artificially generated turbulence: a review of phycological nanocosm, microcosm, and mesocosm experiments

Russell N. Arnott et al.

Summary: This review provided an overview of artificial turbulence generation methods and quantification techniques used in phytoplankton-turbulence laboratory experiments. Most experiments feature quantification of turbulence, with turbulent dissipation rates recommended for consistency with physical oceanographic and limnological observations. Dinoflagellates were the primary phytoplankton group studied due to their propensity for forming harmful algal blooms and sensitivity to turbulence.

Effects of seasonal variation and resuspension on microplastics in river sediments

Feiyang Xia et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence and seasonal variation of microplastics in the sediments of Liangfeng River in China. Results showed higher abundance of microplastics in sediments during the dry season compared to the rainy season, with polyethylene being the most abundant polymer. Small-sized microplastics can potentially migrate and redistribute via resuspension at different temporal and spatial scales.

Quantification and composition of microplastics in the Raritan Hudson Estuary: Comparison to pathways of entry and implications for fate

Kendi Bailey et al.

Summary: The research highlights the need for comprehensive approaches to understand the accumulation patterns and entry pathways of microplastics in urbanized estuarine environments. The study found higher concentrations of 500-2000 μm microplastic particles at the mouth of the Raritan River, while 250-500 μm microplastic particles were more prevalent in the bay and coastal ocean samples. Comparison of polymer concentrations and types from different sources provided insight into potential pathways of microplastics entry into the system.

The fate of plastic litter within estuarine compartments: An overview of current knowledge for the transboundary issue to guide future assessments

L. M. Pinheiro et al.

Summary: Plastics can be found in most ecosystems due to their entry into biogeochemical cycles, with rivers and estuaries being major sources of plastic pollution in oceans. Current studies lack focus on transboundary issues and estuarine gradient patterns in predicting plastic distribution and accumulation, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research.

Microplastics in lakeshore and lakebed sediments-External influences and temporal and spatial variabilities of concentrations

Elena Hengstmann et al.

Summary: This study focused on the temporal and spatial distribution of microplastics in freshwater environments at Lake Tollense, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It found significant spatial and temporal variations in microplastic concentrations in lakeshore sediments, while microplastic abundances in lakebed sediments showed no significant differences.
