Abstract:

Jakarta Bay is known as one of the marine ecosystems that have been contaminated by microplastics. Despite massive loads of microplasticcontamination, Jakarta Bay is also habitat to potential commercial fish species, including anchovy Stolephorus commersonnii and mackerel Rastrelliger kanagurta. While information on the microplastic contents and their determining factors is still limited, the goal of this study was touse artificial neural networks (ANN) as a novel and useful tool to model the determinants of microplastic content in fish in Jakarta Bay, using fish weight and length as proxies.

Abstract:

Abstract Microplastics are plastic fragments with dimensions of less than 5 mm. These materials are formed within bodies of water by the forces shearing on the large plastics. Ultraviolet light from sunlight also degrades plastic materials causing discoloration and disintegration into smaller, micro- or even nano-sized particles. This study reports the isolation of microplastic fragments from the Pasig River within the vicinity of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The collection of floating particulates was done by sieving the river water (flow rate = 0.31 m s−1) through a 0.35 mm

Microplastics (MPs) of varying sizes are widespread pollutants in our environment. The general opinion is that the smaller the size, the more dangerous the MPs are due to enhanced uptake possibilities. It would be of considerably ecological significance to understand the response of biota to microplastic contamination both physically and physiologically. Here, we report on an area choice experiment (avoidance test) using Enchytraeus crypticus, in which we mixed different amounts of high-density polyethylene microplastic particles into the soil.

Abstract:

Microplastic (MP) pollution is lately receiving increasing attention owing to its harmful impact on terrestrial ecosystems. In this microcosm study, we assessed the uptake and transfer of MPs in Solanum nigrum seedlings exposed to 50 mg L–1 of 0.2-µm polystyrene (PS) beads for 30 d. Confocal laser scanning micrographs helped detect highly intense red fluorescence signals from PS-MP beads in S. nigrum root compared with the controls. Confocal images revealed that the PS beads were primarily distributed in the epidermis and xylem of roots and vascular systems of stems and leaves. Scanning electr

Abstract:

Microplastic particles are found globally in all kinds of water bodies posing a serious threat to aquatic organisms and ecosystems. However, plastic concentrations are not homogeneously distributed and can decrease along a river course. Thus, potential sinks need to exist. Dams and reservoirs are proposed to be such potential sinks for microplastics. We investigated plastic concentrations at the water surface upstream and downstream of a reservoir inundated by a wastewater treatment plant effluent by filtering water with a net with 200 μm mesh size. We sampled at flow velocities ranging from 6

Abstract : Environmental issues have become a global crisis. The amount of plastic used has relentlessly increased due to its advantages such as low cost production, lightweight, strength and durability. However, high usage of plastic contributes to microplastics, which are small particles that are difficult to detect and may be found in daily food and beverage consumption. Consequently, it is prone to accumulate in our body and affect our organs, including the brain. From recent studies, there are some possibilities that microplastics exposure can promote human brain damage, including Alzheim

We aim to investigate contamination of microdebris in two commercial species of cephalopod, i.e. Loliolus sumatrensis and Sepia recurvirostra, from the market.

Particle trajectories and average settling and drift velocities of microplastic particles under wave action were studied in a linear wind-wave channel. A wave-maker and an airflow above the water surface created various hydrodynamic conditions. Particles of various shapes (isometric, flat, elongated) were used. The paper provides a brief overview of the theoretical approaches (dimensional analysis) used to study the transport of microplastics in the presence of surface waves and currents. Based on this, a characteristic of wave regimes and sets of experimental particles is given. Terminal sett

The analysis of microplastics poses significant challenges for conventional characterization techniques due to their small size and low concentrations. Magnetic levitation (MagLev), already proven effective for microscale material testing, provides a robust solution for sensitive, accessible, and untethered characterization of such materials. In this paper, we propose a Cross-Halbach magnetic levitation device to measure the densities of microscale plastic materials. Common types of plastic samples, varying in size and concentration, are successfully levitated, and the levitation times are rec

Bryozoans are an important component of these communities, although their filtering activity is less understood compared to some other groups, such as bivalves and ascidians. In this paper, we a

Ecosystems around the world are experiencing a major environmental impact from microplastic particles (MPs 0.1 µm–1 mm). Water, sediments, and aquatic biota show the widespread presence of this pollutant. However, MPs are rarely used in laboratory studies as they are scarcely available for purchase or expensive, especially if one wishes to trace the particle with a dye or fluorescent. Furthermore, existing preparation techniques have limited application in biological studies. In this work, we propose a new, easy, and cheap way to prepare fluorescent MPs.
