Microplastic pollution in inland waters is receiving growing attentions. Reservoirs are suspected to be particularly vulnerable microplastic pollution. However, very limited information currently available on characteristics of microplastics reservoir ecosystems. This work studied the distribution and backwater area Xiangxi River, a typical tributary Three Gorges Reservoir. Microplastics were detected both surface water sediment with concentrations ranging from 0.55 × 105 342 items km-2 80...

Surgical masks (SMs) are the most commonly used personal protective equipment during COVID-19 pandemic. Due to their vast use and inappropriate disposal worldwide, SMs could potentially cause serious microplastic (MP) pollution in coastal marine environments. This study aimed investigate kinetic release of MPs from polypropylene (PP-SMs) seawater evaluate chronic toxicity released copepod Tigriopus japonicus. On basis results our available relevant data, we estimated that discarded...

Microfibers of polyester and cotton might be significant for the transport fate chemical pollutants in air due to amounts emitted, as well their capacities sorb inorganic organic compounds. It was hypothesized that household tumble driers could atmospheric sources these microfibers. This study quantified number two most common textile fibers discharged from a vented dryer ambient air. The results suggest this type are potential source contamination by microfibers, releasing 433,128–561,810...

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs), commonly used in screens of electronic devices, have recently been identified as a group emerging chemicals concern associated with e-waste. They are potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances, may pose threat to the marine ecosystem. The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) receives organic contaminants discharged from Delta region, where primitive handling e-waste is widespread. However, information on pollution status LCMs PRE absent. Herein, rapid...
