Microplastics in freshwater systems: a review of the emerging threats, identification of knowledge gaps and prioritisation of research needs. (2015, background): “The MSFD “litter” designation includes microplastics and acknowledges a limitation in “knowledge of the accumulation, sources, sinks … environmental impacts … temporal and spatial patterns and potential physical and chemical impacts” ofmicroplastics (Galgani et al., 2010, 2013).”
Microplastics in sediments: A review of techniques, occurrence and effects. (2015, background): “Monitoring Guidance for Marine Litter in 905 European Seas, Draft Report.”
Microplastics in freshwater ecosystems: what we know and what we need to know (2014, background): “Here, MP are covered by Descriptor 10 of Commission Decision 2010/477/EU, which defines the good environmental status of marine waters [73].”
Synthetic fibers in atmospheric fallout: A source of microplastics in the environment? (2016, background): “The indicator 10 of the MSFD related to marine liter with a focus on microplastics indicates that the solution for marine plastic pollution is to tackle the problem at its source.”
Microplastics in freshwater systems: A review on occurrence, environmental effects, and methods for microplastics detection. (2017, background): “Secondary microplastics are derived from fragmentation or large plastic debris due to such processes as photo-degradation, physical, chemical and biological interactions (Thompson et al., 2009; Galgani et al., 2013).”
Assessment of microplastics in freshwater systems: A review. (2019, methodology): “Most current methods to detect and monitor microplastics are time consuming and inadequate in identifying all particles (Galgani et al., 2013; Mendoza and Balcer, 2019).”
The quest for seafloor macrolitter: a critical review of background knowledge, current methods and future prospects (2020, background): “For trawl-sampled seafloor litter (see section 6.2), six size classes based on the litter item area have been proposed with upper limits at 25, 100, 400, 2500, 10 000 and >10 000 cm 2 (Galgani et al 2013b), where the small class size is determined by the mesh size of the net.”
Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic (2018, background): “With the increasing evidence that microplastics represent an ecosystem and environmental health concern, UNEP and the EU Commission have established bodies and efforts to guide in decision making and legislation (Galgani et al., 2013; UNEP, 2016).”
