Adsorption of Copper by Naturally and Artificially Aged Microplastics and Subsequent Release in Simulated Gastrointestinal Fluid
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Lu Zhou
Microplastics, especially aged microplastics can become vectors of heavy metals from environment to organisms with potential negative effects on food chain. However, a few studies focused on the bioavailability of adsorbed metals and most studies related t ...
ChemRxiv2023Improved marine debris detection in satellite imagery with automatic refinement of coarse hand annotations
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Elif Dilge Gül
Plastic litter is a major environmental hazard that endangers human, animal, and plant health on the planet. A substantial portion of plastic pollutants is washed from rivers and beaches into the oceans and aggregates at the surface as marine debris before ...
2023In Situ Monitoring of the Surface Evolution of a Silver Electrode from Polycrystalline to Well-Defined Structures
Capturing the surface-structural dynamics of metal electrocatalysts under certain electrochemical environments is intriguingly desired for understanding the behavior of various metal-based electrocatalysts. However, in situ monitoring of the evolution of a ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Adsorption of organic matter on titanium surfaces with nano- and micro-scale roughness studied with the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance dissipation technique
Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz
Adsorption of calf serum organic matter from a phosphate-buffered solution was studied using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with additional dissipation measurements. Two types of crystal surfaces were used: one rough with micrometer-range ...

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Angélique Emmanuelle Moraz
Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels in recent years. While macro- and microplastic pollution are attested and studied since the 1970s, much less is known about the associated nanoscopic fragments. Due to their ability to cross biological barriers ...
2021Infrared Activities of Adsorbed Species on Metal Surfaces: The Puzzle of Adsorbed Methyl (CH3)
Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...
2021Adsorption of progesterone onto microplastics and its desorption in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu
The sorption of Hydrophobic Organic Compound (HOC) onto microplastics is relatively well reported in the literature, while their desorption remains poorly investigated, and especially in biological fluids. The present study investigated the sorption and des ...
2021The adsorption and desorption behaviors of phenanthrene and pyrene onto microplastics in the aquatic environment and digestive fluids
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu
The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Phenanthrene and Pyrene onto polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microplastics in the simulated freshwater and digestive fluids (simulated gastic fluid (S ...
2020Recycling 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 ...
