  1. 6. 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. 7. Microplastics in food webs- occurrence in Lake Vänern brown trout (Salmo trutta) and its main prey

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Hanna Nordström; [2023]
    Keywords : microplastic; freshwater; fish; brown trout; mikroplast; sötvatten; fisk; öring;

    Abstract : Over the past decade, research on microplastic pollution has gained significant attention. Research regarding microplastic occurrence in freshwater fish, however is still scarce. While possible pathways have been investigated, passive transfer via ingestion of prey, and possible bioaccumulation in different organs remains relatively unstudied. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. 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.

  6. 10. Characterization of PLA Nanoplastics, and Their Effects on Daphnia magna

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Melinda Rydberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Polylactic acid; Polylactide; PLA; Nanoplastic; Daphnia magna; Toxicity; Polymer Technology; Chemistry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As plastic pollution in aquatic environments keeps happening it has become more and more important to learn more about nanoparticles. Bio-based and biologically degradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are gaining popularity and it is therefore important to determine whether they break down into nanoplastics or not.
