  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. Removal Characteristics of Fibrous and Particulate Microplastics : A Study of the Effectiveness of Coagulation-Flocculation- Sedimentation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Amrith Kumar; [2022]
    Keywords : Coagulation; flocculation; jar test; microplastics; sedimentation; water treatment; Burktest; flockning; koagulering; mikroplaster; sedimentering; vattenrening;

    Abstract : The rapid proliferation of microplastics (MPs) over the last few decades have raised alarms about the major environmental and health impacts posed by this anthropogenic source. The widespread propagation and transport of MP particles in water sources have accelerated the need to study the eco- toxicological impacts as well as the efficacy of various removal mechanisms from these critical water sources.

  5. 4. Characterization of microplastics in wastewater

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lina Sabienski; [2020]
    Keywords : ATR-FTIR spectroscopy; Microplastic; Plastic pollution; Visual characterization; Wastewater effluent; Wastewater treatment plant WWTP ;

    Abstract : This study aims to detect how many microplastics and what kind are released from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) Skebäck, in Örebro. The study was limited to the analysis of three filters with 50 μm mesh size and one filter with 300 μm mesh size. READ MORE

  6. 5. Temporal and spatial variations of microplastic concentrations in surface waters in Gothenburg, Sweden.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : David Vigren; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Temporal and spatial variations of microlitter (ML) concentrations in Gothenburg were measured by sampling surface water. ML was divided into three main categories; microplastics (MP), fibers (F) and other anthropogenic particles (OA). READ MORE
