- Microplastics in the marine environment. (2011, background): “A 2009 study reported data for 8 US beaches (of which 6 were in CA) as follows (Ogata et al., 2009): P PCB = 32–605 ng/g; P DDT = 2–106 ng/g; and P HCH(4 isomers) = 0–0.”
- Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood (2016, positive): “Trophic transfer of POPs, for example dioxins, PCBs and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, within the marine food webs, is well-documented and has been reported to be associated with oceanic plastics in some cases (Ogata et al., 2009) and biomagni fi cation of POPs has been shown (Hu et al., 2005).”
- Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “Microplastics contain a mixture of chemicals added during manufacture, the so-called additives, and efficiently sorb (adsorb or absorb) persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic contaminants (PBTs) from the environment.”
- Modeling the Role of Microplastics in Bioaccumulation of Organic Chemicals to Marine Aquatic Organisms. A Critical Review (2015, background): “Microplastic particles present in seas and oceans have been found to contain considerable quantities of these chemicals (e.g. Ogata et al. 2009; Hirai et al. 2011).”
- Airborne microplastics: Consequences to human health? (2018, positive): “Moreover, POPs have already been detected in microplastics (Bakir et al., 2012; Frias et al., 2010; Ogata et al., 2009) - apparently acting as vectors between the environmental compartment and organisms.”
- Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Plastic pellets, typically 3–5 mm in size, are made predominantly from the polymers polyethylene and polypropylene (Endo et al. 2005; Ogata et al. 2009).”
- Understanding How Microplastics Affect Marine Biota on the Cellular Level Is Important for Assessing Ecosystem Function: A Review (2019, background): “The global concentration of POPs in marine plastic pellets was estimated to be 1 – 10,000 ng g−1 (Ogata et al. 2009; Hirai et al. 2011).”
