  1. 1. From Ocean to Table: Microplastic contamination in Nordic salts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Anna Nyika; [2023]
    Keywords : Microplastic MP ; MP pollution; plastic pollution; sea salt; rock salt; Nordics; Iceland; Denmark; plastic waste management; human health; marine environment.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Large amounts of plastic in the oceans originate from mismanaged plastic waste, and microplastics (MPs) are the most common type of waste. They can be found in household products, such as sea salts. Therefore, monitoring pollution levels is essential to improve marine health and food safety. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effects of temperature and microplastic concentration on the consumption of microplastic particles by the detritivore Asellus aquaticus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Yasmin Screech; [2023]
    Keywords : Microplastic; Asellus aquaticus; concentration; temperature; faecal pellets;

    Abstract : Microplastic (MP) pollution has now reached a point where particles can be found in every environmental compartment across the globe. However, the ecological and long-term consequences of MPs are largely unknown. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling the Occurrence and Fate of Microplastics Caused by Tyre Wear on Highway E18

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Aniruddha Kshirsagar; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyre Wear Plastics; stormwater system; Microplastics; settling; hetero-aggregation; modelling; Modellering; mikroplaster;

    Abstract : The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) are a growing concern for the environment, the maximum contributor to the MP pollution is tyre wear particles or TWPs. TWPs can accumulate in the environment and remain there for long periods of time and hence have the ability to disrupt ecosystems. READ MORE
