Quantification and characterization of microplastics input from runoff water in Kamo and Takano Rivers, Kyoto, Japan.

Microplastic particles can be found everywhere in the world and sources, transport processes and impact on the environment and human health is yet to be well understood. The goal of this work is to quantify and characterize the impact of non-point source m ...

Recycling Plastic and Marine Debris: What Can Be Done about Bottle Caps?

When will the weight of all fish in the ocean equal the weight of plastic discards in the ocean? These plastic discards in the water impacts birds and sea life around the world. Just as the canary in the coal mine forewarns of danger, the Laysan or Pacific ...
