Microplastics occurrence and frequency in soils under different land uses on a regional scale
(2021)
The growing evidence of microplastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems reveals adverse effects of microplastics on soil biota and plant growth. However, since large scale assessments are lacking, it is possible that the ...
Microplastic ingestion and feeding ecology in three intertidal mollusk species from Lima, Peru
(Universidad de Valparaíso, 2020)
Evidence of microplastic accumulation in agricultural soils from sewage sludge disposal
(2019)
Microplastics are emerging as a steadily increasing environmental threat. Wastewater treatment plants efficiently remove microplastics from sewage, trapping the particles in the sludge and preventing their entrance into ...
Effects of microplastics pollution on the abundance and composition of interstitial meiofauna
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2023)
Microplastics pollution: From continental sources to marine systems
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
Microplastics are amongst the contaminants of emerging concern for aquatic systems. These ubiquitous environmental contaminants began to be reported since the 1970s, with increasing studies about their distribution and ...
Microplastics and freshwater microalgae: what do we know so far?
(2021-06-01)
The constant entry of microplastics in several environmental matrices has been of great concern to the scientific community and to society in general, mainly due to the mysteries that surround the implications of this ...
Simple and cost-effective method for microplastic quantification in estuarine sediment: A case study of the Santos and São Vicente Estuarine System
(2020-09-01)
Sediment is a useful environmental compartment in the evaluation and monitoring of microplastics (i.e., plastic particles between 1 μm and 5 mm in length) in aquatic environments, since 70% of plastic waste is deposited ...
