• Microplastic pollution is widely detected in US municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent. (2016, background): “, 2012; Dubaish and Liebezeit, 2013) and, more recently, freshwater systems (Eriksen et al., 2013; Free et al., 2014; Gasperi et al., 2014; Lechner et al., 2014; McCormick et al., 2014; Morritt et al., 2014; Yonkos et al., 2014; Dris et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in Taihu Lake, China. (2016, background): “In recent years, the occurrence of microplastics has been documented in several lakes and rivers (Eriksen et al., 2013; Castaneda et al., 2014; Yonkos et al., 2014).”
• Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities. (2017, background): “374 Mani et al. (2015) and Yonkos et al. (2014) are among those who have found microplastics in higher 375 abundances at sites in close proximity to urban areas than at more remote sites.”
• A Global Perspective on Microplastics (2020, background): “Yonkos et al. (2014) reported positive correlations between the plastic concentrations in four estuarine rivers of the Chesapeake Bay and both population density and extent of urbanization within the watersheds.”
• Microplastic in Surface Waters of Urban Rivers: Concentration, Sources, and Associated Bacterial Assemblages (2016, background): “…concentration and flux were variable among streams, which is consistent with previous research showing microplastic concentrations are spatially and temporally heterogeneous in the environment (Gilfillan et al. 2009, Dubaish and Liebezeit 2013, Goldstein et al. 2013, Yonkos et al. 2014).”
• Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water (2018, background): “The variabilities seen in the individual bottles, even among the same lot and brand, is similar to what is seen in sampling open bodies of water (Yonkos et al., 2014).”
• Beyond the ocean : Contamination of freshwater ecosystems with (micro-) plastic particles (2015, methodology): “Spectrometric methods 266 have been used in 3 studies to identify polymers, namely IR-spectroscopy ([26]), FT-IR using the ATR 267 (Attenuated total reflection) technique [42] and RM ([40]).”
