• Microbial enzymes for the recycling of recalcitrant petroleum‐based plastics: how far are we? (2017, background): “These are often hydrophobic compounds with a high affinity to microplastics, thereby entering the food chains when microplastics are ingested by marine wildlife (Andrady, 2011, 2015e; Van Cauwenberghe et al., 2013; Law and Thompson, 2014).”
• Effects of biofouling on the sinking behavior of microplastics (2017, background): “One possible reason for sinking is biofouling that increases the specific density of the floating material it colonizes (Andrady 2011, Chubarenko et al 2016, Fazey and Ryan 2016b, Morét-Ferguson et al 2010, Woodall et al 2014, Ye and Andrady 1991).”
• High-levels of microplastic pollution in a large, remote, mountain lake. (2014, background): “Despite the large and growing literature describing the abundance, composition, sources, and impacts of microplastics in the ocean (Andrady, 2011; Browne et al., 2011; Cole et al., 2011), little information exists on microplastics in freshwater systems.”
• Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood (2016, neutral): “Microplastics have been subject to several recent reviews (Barnes et al., 2009; Andrady, 2011; Browne et al., 2011; EC, 2011; Law and Thompson, 2014; Wang et al., 2016), with the most comprehensive recent being by Bouwmeester et al. (2015) and GESAMP (2015) which also addressed potential human…”
• New techniques for the detection of microplastics in sediments and field collected organisms. (2013, background): “Relatively large items will, however, eventually undergo fragmentation under the influence of UV radiation, the oxidative properties of the atmosphere and hydrolytic properties of seawater (Andrady, 2005, 2011; Webb et al., 2013).”
