Literature regarding microplastics in the atmosphere has advanced in recent years.
However, studies have been undertaken in isolation with minimal collaboration and …

Understanding the effects of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a priority in
environmental research. A central aspect of this suite of pollutants is that it entails particles …

The linear production and consumption of plastics today is unsustainable. It creates large
amounts of unnecessary and mismanaged waste, pollution and carbon dioxide emissions …

Globally recognized as emergent contaminants, microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in
aquaculture habitats and subject to intense management. Aquaculture systems are at risk of …

The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the atmosphere in the long-range
transport of microplastic fibres. However, their dry deposition in the atmosphere is not fully …

Plastic contamination of the environment is a global problem whose magnitude justifies the
consideration of plastics as emergent geomaterials with chemistries not previously seen in …

Polyolefins are the largest-scale synthetic plastics and play a key role in modern society.
Their production consumes huge amounts of fossil-derived monomer feedstocks, which …

Plastics are a ubiquitous class of synthetic polymer materials used in virtually all commercial
and industrial sectors. The majority of global plastics consists of polymers with carbon …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …
