Plastic contamination extends across all Great Lakes ecosystems, including in wildlife, with
the potential for risk based on laboratory experiments and risk assessment. Due to …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most heavily polluted regions. Here we
comprehensively review the current state of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea …

The stomach content of 60 krill specimens from the Southern Ocean were analyzed for the
presence of microplastic (MP), by testing different sample volumes, extraction approaches …

Microplastics (MP) are found in marine sediments across the globe, but we are just
beginning to understand their spatial distribution and assemblages. In this study, we …

Accurate analysis of microplastic particles (MPs) in environmental samples requires removal
of interferences during sample preparation. Wastewater samples are interference-rich and …

Abstract Development of a laboratory accreditation program to ensure competency of
laboratories performing analytical measurements is a key step in adopting new analytical …

Abstract Microplastic particles (< 5 mm) are now found throughout earth's ecosystems, with
smaller microplastics often showing greater impacts on organismal health than larger ones …

Microplastic (MP) transport in the atmosphere, one of the least studied environmental
compartments because of the relatively small size of air-borne MPs and the challenges in …

This Special Issue highlights the results of an international multi-laboratory microplastics
measurement intercomparison study that evaluated multiple processing and quantification …

Microplastics are generally defined to include plastic particles that range in size from 1 nm–
5,000 micrometers, though definitions vary. Microplastics also consist of a wide range of …
