Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities. (2017, result): “For example, Dekiff et al. (2014) and Nor and Obbard (2014) reported marine 429 microplastic concentrations in the range from individual particles to tens of particles per kilogram of 430 dry sediment, consistent with a study of the sediments of the St Lawrence River (Castañeda et al., 431 2014).”
Interactions between microplastics and phytoplankton aggregates: Impact on their respective fates (2015, background): “Common techniques and mesh sized used for MP sampling at sea limit measurements to debris bigger than 333 µm (Deltares, 2011), however data on smaller MP particles are becoming available (Desforges et al., 2014, Mohamed Nor et al., 2014).”
Microplastics in freshwater systems: A review on occurrence, environmental effects, and methods for microplastics detection. (2017, background): “From horizontal perspective, microplastics were reportedly found in tropical areas (Ng and Obbard, 2006; Nor and Obbard, 2014); they were even seen in the polar waters of Antarctica and Arctic (Barnes et al.”
Large microplastic particles in sediments of tributaries of the River Thames, UK - Abundance, sources and methods for effective quantification. (2017, background): “Two additional criteria were specified by Nor and Obbard, however these were considered unsuitable as they would have led to dismissal of likely plastics (homogenously coloured and not shiny) (Nor and Obbard, 2014).”
Microplastics in sediments: A review of techniques, occurrence and effects. (2015, background): “…Mediterranean Sea (Kaberi et al., 2013; Klostermann, 2012; Vianello et al., 2013), as 316 well as in Asia (Ismail et al., 2009; Ng and Obbard, 2006; Nor and Obbard, 2014; Reddy et al., 2006) 317 and the highly populated coast of Brazil (Costa et al., 2010; Ivar do Sul et al., 2009; Turra et al.,…”
