- Occurrence and distribution of microplastics in marine sediments along the Belgian coast. (2011, background): “While reliable estimates of the input of produced plastics in the environment cannot be obtained, substantial amounts end up in the marine environment through industrial discharge, littering and terrestrial runoff (Derraik, 2002).”
- First evidence of microplastics in the African Great Lakes: Recovery from Lake Victoria Nile perch and Nile tilapia (2016, background): “2) may be secondary microplastics which have resulted from the degradation and break-down of larger plastic pieces (Derraik, 2002).”
- Plastic Degradation and Its Environmental Implications with Special Reference to Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (2012, background): “The main dangers associated with plastic objects for most species surround entanglement in and ingestion of said items [1].”
