Increasing microplastic concentrations have nonlinear impacts on the physiology of reef-building corals Open
The pollution of marine environments with plastics, particularly microplastic (MP, i.e., plastic particles -1). Specifically, we examined effects on the coral host physiology (i.e., surface and volume growth, calcification, necrosis, and p…

Evaluating the effectiveness of the MicroPlastic Sediment Separator (MPSS) Open
Effective laboratory methods are a requirement to obtain accurate data on the contamination of the environment with microplastics. However, current methods often lack specification and validation of performance. The aim of this work was to…

Nile Red staining for the detection of microplastics: a comprehensive study on the emission spectra Open
Several research groups have explored Nile Red staining of artificial and natural environmental samples to provide an inexpensive and relatively fast analysis tool for identifying microplastics. Yet, most of these studies were based on a l…

A method to extract microplastics from river sediments (bed, bank and floodplain) Open
Identifying and quantifying microplastics in the environment is fundamental to develop effective mitigation strategies. So far, microplastic research has focused on marine environments and large streams. However, smaller rivers, often adja…

Investigating the Potential of UV-excited Photoluminescence Spectroscopy for the Identification of Plastics Open
In this study, we investigate photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with UV excitation as an alternative method for the detection and identification of plastic materials. The PL is excited at 266 nm. Spectra of the most widely used plastic m…

Microplastics in Namibian river sediments – a first evaluation Open
The African continent is rarely the focus of microplastics research, although the ubiquity of microplastics in the environment is undisputed and still increasing. Due to the high production and use of plastic products and the partial lack …

Recent deposition and mobility of microplastics in proximal floodplain sediments Open
<p>With the exponential expansion of global plastic production since the 1950s, plastics were able to enter the environment and freshwater systems now for 70 years. Meanwhile it is known that microplastics (MP) are transported throug…

Microplastics research at the interface of aquatic and terrestrial systems – Opinion Open
<p>Rivers are often pictured as transport routes for plastics and microplastics from land to sea. Indeed, from a geological and geomorphological perspective, the main system function of rivers is the transport of water and sediments.…
