Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities. (2017, background): “…of plastic-chemical associations are difficult to 746 predict due to the many interactions between polymers, plastic additives, adsorbent characteristics 747 and environmental conditions which will impact on bioavailability (Bakir et al., 2014; Koelmans et al., 748 2016; Velzeboer et al., 2014).”
Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood (2016, positive): “So far, characterisation of nanoplastics and polymer nanoparticles not embedded in complex matrices has been reported by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Velzeboer et al., 2014) and HDC combined with UV detection (Striegel and Brewer, 2012).”
Marine litter plastics and microplastics and their toxic chemicals components: the need for urgent preventive measures (2018, background): “[65] affirm that: “Nanoplastics have been shown to pass through the chorion of fish eggs and have been shown to move directly from the digestive tract of mussels into their circulatory system.”
Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects (2016, background): “For PCBs, Velzeboer et al. [183] also found a similar magnitude of sorption to microplastics (PE microspheres of 10–180 µm size) and sediment organic matter.”
