The accumulation of plastic litter in natural environments is a global issue. Concerns over potential negative impacts on the economy, wildlife, and human health provide strong incentives for improving sustainable use plastics. Despite many voices raised issue, we lack consensus how to define categorize debris. This evident microplastics, where inconsistent size classes are used materials be included under debate. While this inherent an emerging research field, ambiguous terminology results...
The detection capabilities of single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with respect to size and number concentrations are investigated for the case silver nanoparticles (ca. 20-80 nm). An iterative algorithm was developed where measurement events were distinguished as outliers from more continuous dissolved ion signal if measured intensity than five times standard deviation whole data set. optimal dwell time 40-80 nm particles, limiting both incomplete multiple...
Plastic preproduction pellets are found in environmental samples all over the world and their presence is often linked to spills during production transportation. To better understand how these end up environment we assessed release of plastic from a polyethylene site case study area on Swedish west coast. The encompasses; field measurements evaluate level pollution pathways, models drifters investigate potential spread revision legal framework company permits. This show that millions...
Abstract Owing to the development and adoption of a variety methods for sampling identifying microplastics, there is now data showing presence microplastics in surface waters from all over world. The difference between methods, however, hampers comparisons, date, most studies are qualitative rather than quantitative. In order allow quantitative comparison abundance, it crucial understand differences methods. Therefore, manta trawl an situ filtering pump were compared during realistic, but...
Abstract Whilst both plastic production and inputs at sea have increased since the 1950s, several modelling studies predict a further increase in coming years these respective quantities. We compiled scientific literature on trends marine litter, consisting largely of microplastics ocean, understanding that monitoring programs or assessments for aspects are varied, frequently focusing limited components environment different locations, covering wide spectrum litter types, with...

The widespread use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in a variety technologies and consumer products inevitably causes their release into aquatic environments final deposition the oceans. In addition, growing number ENM are being developed specifically for marine applications, such as antifouling coatings environmental remediation systems, thus increasing need to address any potential risks organisms ecosystems. To safeguard environment, major scientific gaps related assessing designing...
