  1. 1. From Ocean to Table: Microplastic contamination in Nordic salts

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Anna Nyika; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Microplastic MP ; MP pollution; plastic pollution; sea salt; rock salt; Nordics; Iceland; Denmark; plastic waste management; human health; marine environment.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of temperature and microplastic concentration on the consumption of microplastic particles by the detritivore Asellus aquaticus

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Författare :Yasmin Screech; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Microplastic; Asellus aquaticus; concentration; temperature; faecal pellets;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modelling the Occurrence and Fate of Microplastics Caused by Tyre Wear on Highway E18

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Aniruddha Kshirsagar; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Tyre Wear Plastics; stormwater system; Microplastics; settling; hetero-aggregation; modelling; Modellering; mikroplaster;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mikroplast i vattenavsatta sediment

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Författare :Björn Lycke; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Andong salt marsh; microplastics; MPs; trends; United Kingdom; Arctic; Tisza; Thames; Elbe; India; primary microplastics; secondary microplastics; PAH; polychlorinated biphenyls; toxic; poison; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Microplastics (MPs) are a major pollution concern since the start of the mass produc-tion of plastics in the 1950s. MPs form A) when plastics are produced intentionally to be part of beauty products and B) when plastics are broken down into smaller particles by sunlight, wind, and rain. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Microplastics In Ringed Seals From The Baltic Sea - Method development regarding the detection of microplastics in the digestive tract contents of marine mammals

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Författare :Nicola Parfitt; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Plastic pollution is a severe global problem and every year approximately 368 million tons of plastic is produced. Both terrestrial and marine environments are impacted and hundreds of species affected. LÄS MER
