Microplastics in bivalves cultured for human consumption. (2014, background): “Plastic particles may be retained in the tissues (von Moos et al., 2012) and the circulatory system (Browne et al., 2008), or lodged in the digestive tract (vertebrates e.g. (Denuncio et al., 2011; Lazar and Gra can, 2011; van Franeker et al., 2011); invertebrates (Murray and Cowie, 2011)).”
Microplastic pollution in the surface waters of the Laurentian Great Lakes. (2013, background): “…of marine life are impacted by plastic pollution through entanglement or ingestion, including marine mammals, birds and reptiles (Laist, 1987; van Franeker et al., 2011), as well as through the persistent organic pollutants that sorb onto the plastic (Mato et al., 2001; Teuten et al., 2007,…”
Deleterious Effects of Litter on Marine Life (2015, background): “A peak of plastic ingestion was detected in 1985 and 1995 in a number of long-term studies (Moser and Lee 1992; Robards et al. 1995; Spear et al. 1995; Mrosovsky et al. 2009; Van Franeker et al. 2011).”
Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, background): “Vandermeersch et al. (2015b) suggest that the acid mix method detects a higher fiber content and a lower particle content than the nitric acid method.”
Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2013, background): “For some species, a considerable proportion of the population is affected by interactions with litter that affects their body condition, ability to forage and reproduce, and may ultimately lead to mortality (van Franeker et al., 2011).”
Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Juveniles of northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) had more plastic in their intestines than adults (Kühn and van Franeker 2012), with higher quantities in areas of higher fishing and shipping traffic (van Franeker et al. 2011).”
The physical impacts of microplastics on marine organisms: a review. (2013, background): “Generally, the extent of trophic transfer is dependent on characteristics including the octanolewater partition coefficient (Kow) and metabolic transformation rate of the compound under consideration (Wan et al., 2005).”
New techniques for the detection of microplastics in sediments and field collected organisms. (2013, background): “To date, vertebrates have been the primary focus concerning plastic ingestion (e.g. Denuncio et al., 2011; do Sul et al., 2011; Laist, 1997; Lazar and Gračan, 2011; Poppi et al., 2012; van Franeker et al., 2011).”
Characterisation, quantity and sorptive properties of microplastics extracted from cosmetics. (2015, unknown): “…a wide range of marine organisms including deposit and suspension feeders (Browne et al., 2008; Graham and Thompson, 2009), crustaceans (Murray and Cowie, 2011), fish (Boerger et al., 2010), marine mammals (Denuncio et al., 2011), and seabirds (Avery-Gomm et al., 2012; Van Franeker et al., 2011).”
