Abstract Marine debris is widely recognized as a global environmental problem. One of its main components, microplastics, has been found in several sea salt samples from different countries, indicating that products are irremediably contaminated by microplastics. Previous studies show very confusing results, reporting amounts microparticles (MPs) ranging zero to 680 MPs/kg, with no mention the possible causes such differences. Several errors experimental procedures used were and reported...

According to the latest research, marine products have greatest potential for microplastic (MPs) contamination. Therefore, their presence in terrestrial food has not managed attract much attention—despite fact that future they may represent a serious environmental risk. Research conducted Europe and US indicated of MPs tap water, bottled table salt, honey, beer snails human consumption. The yet been evaluated Latin America. This work focused on evaluating two widely consumed beverages: milk...

The present study aims to determine the presence of synthetic polymeric microparticles (MPs) in samples canned tuna. An analysis procedure these was developed and tested. Four brands tuna marketed Ecuador both water oil were analysed. A significant MPs found: 692 ± 120 MPs/100 g 442 84 oil. Random liquid covering fish cans showed 6 MPs/mL case 5 oil-containing samples. total 90% reported particles presented a size range 1-50 µm. number suggests that ingredients inputs canning process greatly...

Abstract The kinetics of the thermal decomposition polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been studied using dynamic TG‐DTG at heating rates between 1 and 25°C/min atmospheric pressure. Two different atmospheres were used: on one hand, an inert atmosphere (N 2 )in order to study pyrolysis material, other hand oxidative (synthetic air) combustion polymer. same kinetic model has applied simultaneously runs performed allowing a good correlation weight loss data. considers that overall PTFE is done...

The thermal decomposition of a solid recovered fuel (SRF) has been studied by two techniques. First, laboratory-scale experiments were performed in horizontal furnace which different atmospheres to analyze the dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) evolved from material. Sulfur presence was revealed be important PCDD/Fs formation. In second technique, emissions various pollutants (PAHs, PCDD/Fs, metals, acid gases, etc.) determined cement kiln fed on proportions SRF material, where maximum feed rate...
