Levels of microplastics (MPs) in China are completely unknown. This study characterizes suspended MPs quantitatively and qualitatively for the Yangtze Estuary East Sea. were extracted via a floatation method. counted categorized according to shape size under stereomicroscope. The MP densities 4137.3 ± 2461.5 0.167 0.138 n/m3, respectively, estuarine sea samples. Plastic abundances varied significantly estuary. Higher three trawls confirmed that rivers important sources marine environment....
Trillions of plastic fragments are afloat at sea, yet they represent only 1–2% the plastics entering ocean annually. The fate missing and its impact on marine life remains largely unknown. To address these unknowns, we irradiated post-consumer microplastics (polyethylene, PE; polypropylene, PP; expanded polystyrene, EPS), standard PE, plastic-fragments collected from surface waters North Pacific Gyre under a solar simulator. We report that simulated sunlight can remove sea surface. Simulated...
A new technique involving large-volume (10 m3) samples of seawater was used to determine the abundance microplastics (MPs) in water column West Pacific Ocean and East Indian Ocean. Compared conventional sampling methods based on smaller volumes water, data yielded values for deep-water that were at least 1–2 orders magnitude lower. The suggested limited bulk currently surface are insufficient obtain accurate estimates MP deep water. Size distribution indicated lateral movement MPs into...
Plastics are accumulating on Earth, including at sea. The photodegradation of microplastics floating in seawater produces dissolved organic matter (DOM), indicating that sunlight can photodissolve the sea surface. To characterize chemistry DOM produced as photodissolve, three occur surface waters, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and expanded polystyrene (EPS), were incubated both light dark. We present molecular signatures during these incubations, determined via ultrahigh-resolution...
