Comparative ecotoxicity of well-defined biodegradable nanoplastics in soil and water using the environmentally relevant bacterium Arthrobacter globiformis

The acute toxicity of polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) nanoplastics in soil and aquatic environments was assessed using as endpoints the inhibition of the dehydrogenase activity as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and membrane damage in Arthrobacter globiformis, a ubiquitous...

Air-sea exchange and coastal transport dynamics of microplastics around a Caribbean IslandAir-sea exchange represents a key yet insufficiently quantified pathway for microplastic (MP) transport, particularly in island environments where oce…

Long-term biodegradable mulch films application in agricultural fields: effects on soil functionality and microplastic generationThe accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils has become a growing environmental concern, particularly due to the use of plastic mulch…

Plastic debris on the shores of Bahía Esperanza/Hope Bay: Stranded testimony of the historical occupation in the northern Antarctic PeninsulaPlastic pollution poses a significant environmental threat in the Antarctic Treaty Area (ATA), raising increasing scientific and management concerns. …

Plastic in regurgitated pellets and mercury contamination of skua chicks on the Antarctic PeninsulaPlastic pollution represents a widespread threat to marine ecosystems. As top predators, seabirds are capable of ingesting substantial amounts of plas…

Revisiting the Galathea II expedition (1950–1952): Historical Significance and the Foraminiferal Collection at the Natural History Museum DenmarkThe Danish Galathea II expedition (1950–1952) was a major milestone in deep-sea exploration, but much of its micropaleontological material has remaine…

Microplastics in the cryosphereMicroplastics (MPs) have been detected throughout the cryosphere, from polar regions to mountain glaciers, highlighting their global reach and persist…

An Improved method to generate secondary nanoplastics and oligomers: Application in ecotoxicologyRecent studies have highlighted the ecotoxicological effects of conventional primary nanoplastics (NPLs), however, the impacts of secondary NPLs and oligomers (Olig), especially those derived from biodegradable plastics, formed through fragmentation and natural degradation processes (e.g., photooxidation) re

Chemometric discrimination of airborne fibres: microplastics, regenerated cellulose and natural fibresInterest in airborne microplastics has surged in the past decade, and a range of complementary tools are now used to characterize the different polyme…

Microplastics at the Ocean-Atmosphere Interface in Mexican Coastal Areas of Two Major OceansThe rapid increase in global plastic production has accelerated the dissemination of microplastics (MP), impacting urban and coastal environments. Thi…

Beyond the greenhouse: The spread of plastic pollution from an intensively cultivated agricultural areaAmong the many sources of plastic contamination, greenhouse agriculture is a major contributor due to its intensive use of plastic materials. This stu…
