Plastic pollution in the Arctic
Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human
activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of …

Are we underestimating anthropogenic microfiber pollution? A critical review of occurrence, methods, and reporting
Anthropogenic microfibers, a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, can be categorized as
synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural according to material of origin and production process …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in North American school uniforms
We analyzed 72 children's textile products marketed as stain-resistant from US and
Canadian stores, particularly school uniforms, to assess if clothing represents a significant …

Examining the release of synthetic microfibres to the environment via two major pathways: Atmospheric deposition and treated wastewater effluent
Research on the discharge of synthetic microfibres to aquatic environments has typically
focused on laundering, where fibres can be discharged via wastewater effluent. However …

Microfibers released into the air from a household tumble dryer
Microfibers of polyester and cotton might be significant for the transport and fate of chemical
pollutants in the air due to the amounts emitted, as well as their capacities to sorb inorganic …

[HTML][HTML] Taking control of microplastics data: a comparison of control and blank data correction methods
Although significant headway has been achieved regarding method harmonisation for the
analysis of microplastics, analysis and interpretation of control data has largely been …

[HTML][HTML] Sources and fate of atmospheric microplastics revealed from inverse and dispersion modelling: From global emissions to deposition
We combine observations from Western USA and inverse modelling to constrain global
atmospheric emissions of microplastics (MPs) and microfibers (MFs). The latter are used …

Spatial distribution of microplastics in surficial benthic sediment of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie
The spatial distribution, concentration, particle size, and polymer compositions of
microplastics in Lake Michigan and Lake Erie sediment were investigated. Fibers/lines were …

Effects of microplastic fibers on soil aggregation and enzyme activities are organic matter dependent
Microplastic as an anthropogenic pollutant accumulates in terrestrial ecosystems over time,
threatening soil quality and health, for example by decreasing aggregate stability. Organic …

Anthropogenic particles (including microfibers and microplastics) in marine sediments of the Canadian Arctic
We report the first Canadian Arctic-wide study of anthropogenic particles (APs,> 125 μm),
including microfibers (synthetic, semi-synthetic and anthropogenically modified cellulose) …
