The presence of microplastics in the whole trophic network including humans has been documented by a plethora of studies. When microplastics are introduced into the trophic structure, the routine functions of the biotic systems play a role as vectors of contaminants. At each higher level of the ...
In April 2017, scientists confirmed for the first time that microplastics have entered the terrestrial food chain by finding them in soil, in earthworms, in hen droppings and in stomachs. 2017年4月,科学家在土壤里、蚯蚓体内、母鸡粪便和胃里发现微塑料,首次证实微塑料已进入陆地食物链。 When scientist...
Microplastics have been recently detected in many environmental media and living organisms, yet their transfer and toxicity to humans are poorly known. Here, we review microplastic transfer in the food chain with focus on microplastic pollution sources, methods to analyze microplastics in food, health...
Trophic transfer of microplastics and mixed contaminants in the marine food web and implications for human health. Environ. Int. 115, 400-409... M Carbery,W O'Connor,T Palanisami - 《Environment International》 被引量: 4发表: 2018年 How microplastics interact with food chain: a short overvie...
Microplastics are of increasing concern as they are readily ingested by aquatic organisms. This study investigated microplastic trophic transfer using larval inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) (5 d posthatch) and unicellular tintinnid (Favella spp.) as a model food chain relevant to North ...
根据第二段Over 92% of the microplastics found were small threads,called microfibers.About 73% of these fibers were made of a plastic known as polyester(聚酯),which exactly matched polyester used in clothing.超过92%的微塑料是被称为微纤维的细线。大约73%的纤维是由一种叫做聚酯的塑料制成的,与...
"Apart from the harvesting of blue mussels, we also need to consider the impact of microplastic particles entering other parts of the human food chain with microplastic pollution expected to increase in the future."■
阅读理解Microplastics, those lasting relics(遗物) of modern times,have occupied seemingly every part of the planet today, including the most distant reaches.The Arctic is far from clean, though it's remote and rarely stepped in by visitors. Melanie Bergmann, a marine ecologist with the Alfred ...
Microplastics in the ocean and other bodies of water have a direct impact on these ecosystems, because the animals that live in these waters are ingesting them. If an animal is at the bottom of the food chain, it can easily spread that plastic up the chain — just as we’re seeing huma...
最后一段第一句“Even worse is the threat from airborne nanoplastics in the area”指出更糟糕的是在这个地区还发现了来自空中纳米粒的威胁。最后一句“. Research on that also has been conducted and it could be a bigger problem, according to Rochman.”进一步指出关于纳米粒的研究也实施了,可能是一个...
