The effects of microplastics (MP) on aquatic organisms are currently the subject of intense
research. Here, we provide a critical perspective on published studies of MP ingestion by …

Diverse effects of nano-and microplastic (NMP) have been demonstrated in the laboratory.
We provide a broad review of current knowledge on occurrence, measurement, modeling …

Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of
the world's oceans. Here we characterise and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation …

This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental
(primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and …

Microplastic pollution of the marine environment has received increasing attention from
scientists, the public, and policy makers over the last few years. Marine microplastics …

Microplastic disposal into riverine ecosystems is an emergent ecological hazard that mainly
originated from land-based sources. This paper presents a comprehensive review on …

Microplastics are an emerging marine pollutant. It is important to understand their
distribution in the marine environment and their implications on marine habitats and marine …

Abstract Currently, 60–80% of litter is plastic, and almost 10% ends up in the ocean directly
or indirectly. Plastics often suffer from photooxidation producing microplastics and these …

The quantity and size distributions of small plastic fragments in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan
were investigated using field surveys and a numerical particle-tracking model. The model …

A numerical model was established to reproduce the oceanic transport processes of
microplastics and mesoplastics in the Sea of Japan. A particle tracking model, where surface …
