Micro‐by‐micro interactions: How microorganisms influence the fate of marine microplastics (2020, neutral): “13 through the environment and into the food web, where they are released and bioaccumulated into larger 234 organisms (Rios et al. 2007; Andrady 2011; Debroas et al. 2017).”
The present and future of microplastic pollution in the marine environment. (2014, background): “Near the NPCG and California coast, the presence of PCBs, PAHs from combusted fossil fuels, and DDTs from pesticides was reported in plastic pellets and microplastic fragments (80e90% PP) (Rios et al., 2007).”
Adsorption of trace metals to plastic resin pellets in the marine environment. (2012, background): “All rights reserved. are adsorbed onto the material from seawater (Mato et al., 2001; Endo et al., 2005; Rios et al., 2007).”
Organic micropollutants in marine plastics debris from the open ocean and remote and urban beaches. (2011, background): “Rios et al. (2007, 2010) demonstrated concentrations of HOCs, including PCBs, from the Central Pacific Gyre and the California coast.”
Plastic ingestion by planktivorous fishes in the North Pacific Central Gyre. (2010, background): “…seabirds, marine mammals, and occasionally fish has been well documented (Balaz, 1985; Wallace, 1985; Ryan et al., 1990; Moser and Lee, 1992; Robards, 1993; Eriksson and Burton, 2003; Phillips et al., 2007), the amount and type of plastic ingested by lower trophic level marine organisms has…”
New techniques for the detection of microplastics in sediments and field collected organisms. (2013, background): “…trials (Browne et al., 2008), the presence of microplastics in the environment still raises toxicity concerns, since plastics are known to contain and/or adsorb high concentrations of organic contaminants (Hirai et al., 2011; Mato et al., 2001; Rios et al., 2007; Teuten et al., 2007, 2009).”
Biodegradability of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) via biological carbon cycles in marine environments (2020, background): “In addition, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which exist at low concentrations in the ocean, are concentrated on the surfaces of plastics discharged into the marine environment due to the hydrophobic properties of the plastic surface [9].”
Synthetic polymers in the marine environment: a rapidly increasing, long-term threat. (2008, background): “(5) Plastic resin pellets and fragments of plastic broken from larger objects are sources and sinks for xenoestrogens and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine and aquatic environments (Moore et al., 2005a; Mato et al., 2001; Rios et al., 2007), and can be readily ingested by invertebrates ”

Microplastics as contaminants in the marine environment: a review. (2011, methodology): “Plastics are synthetic organic polymers, which are derived from the polymerisation of monomers extracted from oil or gas (Derraik, 2002; Rios et al., 2007; Thompson et al., 2009b).”
Association of metals with plastic production pellets in the marine environment. (2010, background): “Descriptions of beached litter commonly report heterogeneous assortments of plastic production pellets (Endo et al., 2005; Rios et al., 2007).”
