Modeling the Role of Microplastics in Bioaccumulation of Organic Chemicals to Marine Aquatic Organisms. A Critical Review (2015, methodology): “Rochman et al. (2013b) exposed fish (Japanese medaka; Oryzias latipes) to contaminated food, to contaminated food mixed with 10 % virgin low density PE (LDPE) and to contaminated food mixed with LDPE that was pre-equilibrated in seawater.”
The present and future of microplastic pollution in the marine environment. (2014, background): “The concentrations of PAHs and PCBs that adsorbed onto HDPE, LDPE, and PP were consistently greater than those adsorbed onto PET and PVC fragments (Rochman et al., 2013).”
Validation of ATR FT-IR to identify polymers of plastic marine debris, including those ingested by marine organisms (2018, positive): “…different polymers have different affinities for adsorbing chemical pollutants from seawater, suggesting some polymers may present a larger risk of transferring pollutants to marine organisms who ingest them (Rochman et al., 2013; Fries and Zarfl, 2012; Endo et al., 2005; Koelmans et al., 2013).”
Recommended best practices for plastic and litter ingestion studies in marine birds: Collection, processing, and reporting (2019, background): “Such polymer identification may also be important when assessing which plastic-associated contaminants may be absorbed by wildlife as a result of accumulated plastics in the gut (Rochman et al. 2014; Koelmans et al. 2016).”
Assessment of microplastics in freshwater systems: A review. (2019, background): “In fish, microplastic accumulation can cause liver glycogen depletion and fat vacuolation (Rochman et al., 2013).”
Microplastics in the surface sediments from the Beijiang River littoral zone: Composition, abundance, surface textures and interaction with heavy metals. (2017, background): “…organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and DDTs (Endo et al., 2005; Gauquie et al., 2015; Hirai et al., 2011; Rochman et al., 2013a; Van et al., 2012), increasing their concentration even up to the order of 106 (Mato et al., 2001).”
Enhanced desorption of persistent organic pollutants from microplastics under simulated physiological conditions. (2014, background): “Greater concentrations of PAHs and PCBs were sorbed to HDPE, LDPE, and PP compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PVC (Rochman et al., 2012).”
A Global Perspective on Microplastics (2020, background): “Indeed, this phenomenon has been exploited in designing polymer‐based passive sampling devices for dissolved organic pollutants (MacKenzie et al., 2004; Rochman et al., 2013; Telfer et al., 2014).”
