1. SINGLE AND COMBINED EXPOSURE OF POLYSTYRENE NANOPARTICLES AND NORTH SEA MARINE OIL IN TWO IN VITRO FISH MODELS
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : The awareness of micro-and nanoplastic pollution and its impact on the marine ecosystem has increased over the last decade. Nanoplastics may affect aquatic organisms since their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio increases their bioavailability and ability to cross biological membranes. LÄS MER
2. Characterization of PLA Nanoplastics, and Their Effects on Daphnia magna
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesSammanfattning : 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.

3. PlaCo : The plastic collecting robot
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/MekatronikSammanfattning : The oceans are an essential global resource for all living organisms but especially for us humans. However, year after year we continue to neglect proper recycling of our waste, resulting in litter ending up in our oceans. The majority of said litter comes from single use plastic items. LÄS MER
4. Nanoplastic transport in soils by advection and bioturbation
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to ecosystems. They are emitted to soils through different pathways, including sewage sludge or compost applications in agriculture, or through tire abrasion and degradation of mismanaged waste. LÄS MER
5. Isolation of nanoplastics in fish from the North Aegean sea
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/BeräkningskemiSammanfattning : The breakdown of plastics in our oceans is one of our times biggest challenges. What happens when these plastics are broken down into pieces too small to see is still a mystery. Nanoplastics is a relatively new area of research and much more studies need to be done before we can get a perspective of how big the problem is. LÄS MER
