Marine litter, and in particular plastic waste, is a growing environmental concern due to its aesthetic, economic, and ecological impacts. Volunteer clean-up efforts and coastal litter surveys have raised the public's awareness of marine debris as well as provided valuable data on the categories ...
The Impacts of Ocean Pollution on Marine Wildlife Ocean pollution is a growing concern around the world, with devastating impacts on marine wildlife. This pollution comes in many forms, including plastic waste, oil spills, chemical pollutants, and nutrient runoff from agriculture. These pollutants ...
Marine benthic ecologyMicroplasticOrganic matter primingPlastic pollution continues to seep into natural and pristine habitats. Emerging laboratory-based research has evoked concern regarding plastic's impact on ecosystem structure and function, the essence of the ecosystem services that supports our life, ...
Marine Pollution Impacts on Ecosystems Marine pollution is a significant problem that affects ecosystems worldwide. The impact of pollution on the marine environment is devastating, and it is a serious threat to marine life. The effects of pollution on the environment can be seen in the increased...
through trophic transfer and adversely affect marine life.Consumption of microplastics contaminated sea food results adverse biochemical effects on human health.Policy, regulation, public awareness, biodegradable plastic use, and technological solutions are promising strategies to reduce microplastics pollution.关...
impacts of plastic waste on a wide range of species [16,17,18]. More than 800 animal species are already shown to have been affected by plastic pollution, and with an increasing number, from detritivorous sea snails [19] to apex marine predators [20,21], being found to have internal...
and polyester into the environment through washing and other processes. The irrational use of plastic products in agriculture has also generated significant important environmental pollution problems25,26. Because plastic materials are difficult to degrade, they can accumulate in aquatic environments and per...
Its hierarchical feature learning enables the model to discern the impacts of microplastics based on their size, shape, composition, and concentration, leading to improved predictive accuracy regarding ecological outcomes, such as effects on marine life and water quality. Furthermore, DRF provides ...
Hence, primary microplastics are already tiny millimetre sized particles when they enter fresh water and marine environments. On the other hand, physical, chemical, or biological fragmentation and degradation of larger floating plastic items in aquatic environments generate secondary microplastics (Browne ...
Moreover, because scientific knowledge on marine pollution is patchy, knowledge gaps have been identified as one of the major problems in introducing effective management strategies for its control. The present paper focuses on three objectives: (1) to provide a review on the major areas of ...
