Characterisation, quantity and sorptive properties of microplastics extracted from cosmetics. (2015, neutral): “…potential for transport of the POPs phenanthrene (Phe) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and compared them with commercially available PE particles previously used in adsorption/desorption studies of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) (Bakir et al., 2012, 2014a, b; Teuten et al., 2007).”
Microplastics in freshwater ecosystems: what we know and what we need to know (2014, background): “, PCBs and DDT) has been published recently [55], and a number of studies exist for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [56-61].”
Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review. (2017, background): “The high affinity of plastic polymers for HOC has been demonstrated in numerous laboratory experiments (Bakir et al., 2014; Teuten et al., 2007), and an increasing number of studies have focused on the role of MP as a vector for HOC in marine organisms (Besseling et al., 2013; Rochman et al., 2013).”
Release of synthetic microplastic plastic fibres from domestic washing machines: Effects of fabric type and washing conditions. (2016, background): “…chemicals (sorbed or additives), will influence the potential for effects in the environment (Teuten et al., 2007; Bakir et al., 2012; Koelmans et al., 2014; Bakir et al., 2014), therefore it is important to understand the relative abundance, as well as the sources of various types of microplastic.”
Modeling the Role of Microplastics in Bioaccumulation of Organic Chemicals to Marine Aquatic Organisms. A Critical Review (2015, background): “Various authors have provided these k values at simulated gut conditions, showing about an order of magnitude enhancement of transfer rates in artificial gut fluids up to k1G = 10–12 d−1 (Teuten et al. 2007; Bakir et al. 2014).”
