Microplastics are a pervasive pollutant of aquatic ecosystems and are reported to interact with a wide range of aquatic biota. The complexities of natural food webs means that the transfer and accumulation of microplastics is difficult to assess, and

The prevalence of microplastic (MP), typically characterised as polymeric materials of particle (1 µm - 5 mm) are an increasing concern in our marine and freshwater systems. International research efforts have mainly focused on the abundance, charac

1. Since the collapse of the Ostrea edulis stock in the mid-1800s the oyster has struggled to re-establish itself in self-sustaining assemblages in Europe.2. It is now widely recognized that O. edulis is an integral component of a healthy biologicall

Publikováno v: Environmental sciencetechnology. 51(2)

Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are receptors for the cumulative loading of microplastics (MPs) derived from industry, landfill, domestic waste water and storm water. The partitioning of MPs through the settlement processes of waste water treatm
