Microplastic fibres from synthetic textiles: Environmental degradation and additive chemical content
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microplastic fibres (MPFs) often make up the largest fraction of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments, yet little is known about their degradative fate and persistence. This study investigates the environmentally ... -
Organic chemicals associated with rubber are more toxic to marine algae and bacteria than those of thermoplastics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The current study investigated the chemical complexity of fifty plastic (36) and elastomer/rubber (14) methanol extracts from consumer products, focusing on the association with toxicity in two screening assays (bacteria ... -
UV degradation of natural and synthetic microfibers causes fragmentation and release of polymer degradation products and chemical additives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-10)A high proportion of the total microplastic (MP) load in the marine environment has been identified as microfibers (MFs), with polyester (PET) and polyamide (PA) typically found in the highest abundance. The potential for ...
