• The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris (2020, background): “The fragmentation rate of beached plastic might be closely related to the residence time on beaches (Kataoka and Hinata 2015, Fanini and Bozzeda 2018) and is dependent on polymer type (Song et al 2017) and temperature (Andrady 2011).”
• Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review (2020, background): “…due to physical (wind wave action and mixing in-between the heavy and/or abrasive beach sediments) (Efimova et al., 2018; Chubarenko et al., 2020), chemical (UV light from solar radiation) (Andrady, 2011, 2017; Song et al., 2017) and biological (microorganisms) (Kooi et al., 2017) factors.”
