The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris

Environmental Research Letters, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 023003 - 023003

Published: Jan. 20, 2020

Abstract Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in poorly mapped, and most of waste estimated to have entered from land unaccounted for. Better understanding how transported coastal marine sources crucial quantify close global inventory plastics, which turn represents critical information for mitigation or policy strategies. At same time, unique tracer that provides an opportunity learn more about physics dynamics our across multiple scales, Ekman convergence basin-scale gyres individual waves surfzone. In this review, we comprehensively discuss what known different processes govern transport both open zones, based published literature referring insights neighbouring fields such as oil spill dispersion, safety recovery, plankton connectivity, others. We measurements plastics (both situ laboratory), remote sensing, numerical simulations can elucidate these their interactions spatio-temporal scales.

New Insights into the Aging Behavior of Microplastics Accelerated by Advanced Oxidation Processes

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 53(7), P. 3579 - 3588

Published: March 4, 2019

In the environment, microplastics are subjected to multiple aging processes; however, information regarding impact of on environmental behavior is still lacking. This study investigated alteration properties polystyrene and high-density polyethylene by heat-activated K2S2O8 Fenton treatments improve understanding their long-term natural in aquatic environments. Our results indicated that O/C ratio was an alternative parameter carbonyl index (CI) quantitatively describe surface microplastics. The correlation model or CI versus time developed compared freshwater samples. Moreover, regression equation equilibrium adsorption capacity altered average size proposed. first effort differentiating relationships between time/adsorption microplastics, which would be helpful for predicting weathering degree accumulation hydrophilic antibiotics onto aged research develops promising strategies accelerate reactions using advanced oxidation processes, provide further assess microplastic pollution actual

Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health

Nanomaterials, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 496 - 496

Published: Feb. 16, 2021

Plastics have enormous impacts to every aspect of daily life including technology, medicine and treatments, domestic appliances. Most the used plastics are thrown away by consumers after a single use, which has become huge environmental problem as they will end up in landfill, oceans other waterways. These discarded vast numbers each day, breaking down from micro- nano-sizes led worries about how toxic these environment humans. While, there several earlier studies reported effects nano-plastics on environment, is scant research into their impact human body at subcellular or molecular levels. In particular, potential move through gut, lungs skin epithelia causing systemic exposure not been examined thoroughly. This review explores thoroughly nanoplastics created, behave/breakdown within levels toxicity pollution nanoplastics, possible health humans, well suggestions for additional research. paper aims inspire future core elements nano-plastics, biological reactions caused specific unusual qualities.
