Tire wear particles in the aquatic environment - A review on generation, analysis, occurrence, fate and effects. (2018, background): “For 649 other particulate contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials or microplastics, complex transport 650 models were developed (Besseling et al., 2017; Domercq et al., 2018; Praetorius et al., 2014).”
Assessment of microplastics in freshwater systems: A review. (2019, background): “Laboratory studies have further confirmed that microplastics can accumulate in large amounts in the zooplankton Daphnia magna (Besseling et al., 2017; Nasser and Lynch, 2016; Rehse et al., 2016; Rosenkranz et al., 2009).”
Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “, 2014) and addressed the fate of micro and nanoplastics in freshwater systems (Besseling et al., 2017).”
The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris (2020, background): “(4) Plastic particles may aggregate with suspended inorganic particles such as clay, and therefore increase in density and sink, as was shown experimentally for nano-sized polystyrene spheres (Besseling et al 2017).”
Tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) - A review of generation, properties, emissions, human health risk, ecotoxicity, and fate in the environment. (2020, background): “Nizzetto et al. (2016) and Besseling et al. (2017) calculated the transport of MP in the rivers Thames (United Kingdom) and Dommel (Netherlands), respectively, finding high rates of retention for larger particles (particles ≥200 μm, if heavier than water, and ≥50 μm, respectively).”
Ups and Downs in the Ocean: Effects of Biofouling on Vertical Transport of Microplastics (2017, neutral): “This median value is of the same order of magnitude as the 1250 kg m − 3 used in the modeling study by Besseling et al. (2017).”
Microplastics as an emerging threat to terrestrial ecosystems (2018, background): “%) for particles in the size rage of ~5 lm, which implies that microplastics at submicron size as well as larger micro- and millimeter-sized plastic are preferentially retained within a catchment (Besseling et al., 2017).”
