To date, microplastic is ubiquitously encountered in the environment. Studies analyzing terrestrial ecosystems, including animal feces and feed, are few. Microplastic quantification method validation harmonization not yet far developed. For analysis of small microplastic, approximately <0.5 mm, extraction from organic inorganic materials fundamental prior to quantitative qualitative analysis. Method validation, recovery studies, necessary throughout analytical chain. In this study, we...
Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment. However, little is known about their uptake and effects humans or mammalian model organisms. Here, we studied of pristine polyamide (15–20 µm) polyethylene (40–48 after oral ingestion rats. The animals received feed containing microplastic (0.1% polyethylene, a mixture both polymers) control diet without particles, for 5 weeks. permeability duodenum was investigated an Ussing chamber, whereas gene expression concentration tight...
Modeling studies illustrate the potential for long-range transport of plastics into Arctic, although degree to which this occurs remains relatively undocumented. We utilised a teaching exercise at UArctic summer school graduate course in Nuuk, Greenland conduct preliminary in-depth analysis beach litter sources Nuup Kangerlua fjord. Students and instructors collected analysed 1800 items weighing 200 kg from one location fjord another its mouth. The results suggest predominance local...
