Reducing uncertainty and confronting ignorance about the possible impacts of weathering plastic in the marine environment. Conversely, microplastics were observed in the digestive tract, head, and gills of whole brown shrimp, but not in the abdominal muscle tissue of peeled brown shrimp, sampled from the Clyde Sea (Devriese et al. Goldfish were exposed to white microplastic fragments of different size categories: 0.5 to 2 mm, 2 to 3 mm, and >3 mm, to investigate the effect of size on ingestion and egestion. As most observed microplastics are above the membrane size thresholds for porous membranes (i.e., 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 µm for micro-, ultra- and nano-filtration respectively), porous membranes have the potential to be very effective at removing microplastics (Crittenden et al. In 300 µL saline. As plastics move from source to sink, they interact with the physical, chemical, and biological environments in ways that depend on the characteristics of the plastics (e.g., density) (Windsor et al. There is also a need to understand the physical characteristics of microplastics (e.g., length, diameter, polymer type and surface chemistry) that may determine their bioavailability, tissue distribution, and potential relevance to human health. 2017. Schür et al. 2014. Luo T, Zhang Y, Wang C, Wang X, Zhou J, Shen M, Zhao Y, Fu Z, Jin Y. Renzi M, BlaÅ¡ković A, Broccoli A, Bernardi G, Grazioli E, Russo G. 2020. Given their length, most microplastic fibres are expected to be deposited either in the extrathoracic region or in the upper airways and removed via mucociliary clearance (Gasperi et al. A depuration study with Daphnia magna. In this context, plastics are often categorized by their size. (2018) also concluded that two fish species from the northeastern Pacific Ocean, the Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) and the Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), do not act as significant conduits for the vertical transfer of microfibres to marine piscivores along the coast of British Columbia. Blettler MCM, Ulla MA, Rabuffetti AP, Garello N. 2017. 62 p. Available from: ec.pddemandes-pd-requests.ec@canada.ca. Effects of microplastic particles and leaching additive on the life history and morphology of Daphnia magna. Microplastics can also be formed through the breakdown of larger plastic items in the environment. Turning microplastics into nanoplastics through digestive fragmentation by Antarctic krill. An increasing amount of plastic pollution in surface waters has the potential to act as a stressor on ecosystem dynamics and habitat integrity (CBD 2012). An accelerated laboratory study evaluating the disintegration rates of plastic films in simulated aquatic environments. The results indicate that microfibres are not transferred to the coelomic fluid upon ingestion of contaminated sediment. Due to the extremely short lifecycle of plastics from packaging (i.e., most plastic packaging is single-use in nature) compared to plastics from other sectors, packaging accounted for 47% of the plastics discarded in Canada in 2016. This change in dynamics can have significant long-term effects on the ecosystem, such as altered predator-prey dynamics. Microplastic exposure did not have an effect on survival rates or penis development in juveniles; however, there was a negative effect on growth rate. Radiographs confirmed the presence of plastics in the GI tract, hindering regular function. 2018. Environ Sci Technol. 35(7):1632-1640. Summary Report. Catalase activity and malondialdehyde content significantly increased in the 1.0 g/kg treatment after 28-day exposure. 2013. 236:661-671. 2019; Toussaint et al. Total biomass of the fish per tank was not affected by microplastic exposure. Akhbarizadeh et al. Construction is the second-largest end-use market for plastics in Canada, accounting for approximately 26% of all end-use plastics generated in 2016 (ECCC 2019a). In E. tenuis, there were no significant changes in protein and carbohydrate content. Oyster reproduction is affected by exposure to polystyrene microplastics. (2020) measured the abundance of microplastics in the ambient air over the ocean at three sites: Pearl River Estuary (PRE), South China Sea and East Indian Ocean (EIO). Patterson J, Jeyasanta KI, Sathish N, Booth Am, Edward JKP. 615. 2019 City of Edmonton Litter Audit Report. No plastics were found in samples collected from depths greater than 8 cm. The remaining demonstrated effects were at the organismal level, primarily due to individual deaths (Rochman et al. 2014). Vollen Schutz genießt du außerdem bei allen Artikeln mit eBay-Garantie und Zahlungsabwicklung über eBay. A review of existing shoreline studies by Driedger et al. Chapter 13. p. 343-366. (2015) indicated that higher concentrations of plastic debris in the Great Lakes region are generally found in areas with higher human and industrial activity. Exposure to 6 μm microplastics had levels similar to that of control conditions. Only very small microplastics (˂1.5 µm) are expected to enter into capillaries and penetrate deeply into tissues (Yoo et al. Sci Total Environ. This study found plastics in all surface water samples collected from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Thus, plastic particles used in toxicological studies should be washed to remove any additives that may cause effects that can be confused with effects caused by the particles themselves. 2019e. 151:110827. 2020. All samples contained microplastics, with a range of 50 to 146 particles/kg. Comparison of the distribution and degradation of plastic debris along shorelines of the Great Lakes, North America. Similarly, Qi et al. Persistence of plastic litter in the oceans. Plastic pollution, in the form of macroplastics and microplastics, is ubiquitous in the environment. Grbić J, Helm P, Athey S, Rochman CM. 2020; Unice et al. Additionally, this group showed pronounced and severe damage in their livers. Additionally, the exposed springtails had significantly decreased bacterial diversity in their guts. 2020; Renzi et al. Larger sized particles (>5 000 Âµm) were also detected near ground level and not at higher altitudes. Many studies rely only on visual identification to determine if a particle is plastic. 2019). 2018; Rafiee et al. 2018. 2018. Additionally, smaller sizes of LDPE were egested by the earthworms. 103(1-2):206-210. Primary microplastics in the oceans: A global evaluation of sources. (2018) collected litter items sized 2 to 25 mm on South African beaches and reported that plastics comprised 99% of all litter items by number, and that industrial pellets (which form the feedstock of the plastics industry) were the most abundant type of plastic. Microplastic contamination and pollutant levels in mussels and cockles collected along the channel coasts. The following is a summary of relevant new information published since the literature review cut-off date for the Draft Science Assessment of Plastic Pollution (i.e., from June 2019 to March 2020), as well as relevant new information received through public consultation. 44(9):3404-3409. Koelmans AA, Bakir A, Burton GA, Janssen CR. Gall SC, Thompson RC. Given that fragmentation of oxo-degradable plastic requires oxygen and that the majority of plastics in landfills will not have direct access to oxygen, little to no biodegradation of oxo-degradable plastics is expected in deeper landfill layers. Dris R, Gasperi J, Rocher V, Saad M, Renault N, Tassin B. 6(1):21-25. In Lake Erie, Dean et al. The study investigated defence responses in earthworms exposed to microplastics. Notwithstanding study limitations, a recent analysis by Panko et al. In C. elegans, PA, PE, PP, and PVC microplastics had significant effects on their survival, with the exception of PVC at 0.5 mg/m2. Internationally, a limited number of studies have investigated the presence of microplastics in tap and bottled water. Global monitoring of POPs using beached plastic resin pellets. Furthermore, there was an increase in the proportion of fragments in soil during and shortly after biosolid application, but the proportion of fragments eventually declined with a corresponding increase in proportion of fibres. Sci Total Environ. Further research investigating the toxicity of nanoplastics is also required, as described above. (2019) examined microplastic occurrence in Hungary. Microplastics in the commercial seaweed nori. Based on international data, it is estimated that 40% of all plastic production is used for packaging, a significant portion of which is used for the food and drink sector (UNEP 2016). Zbyszewski et al. Environ Toxicol Chem. Cosgrove L, McGeechan PL, Robson GD, Handley PS. There is also a paucity of data on the common or important sources of microplastics in the environment and other media, such that identifying source contributions of microplastics is difficult. Most of the microplastics recovered were spheres, followed by fragments (Mani et al. Using an alternating light-to-dark photoperiod stimulation, a significant reduction in swimming competence was also seen in dark conditions. 2018, 0 to 10 microplastic particles/individual mussel;a, 0.2 to 2.9 microplastic particles /g mussel. The primary source of microplastic particles in indoor air is thought to be the shedding of polymeric textile fibres from clothing, furniture, carpeting, and household goods due to wear and tear or abrasion (Sundt et al. The authors estimate that, on average, 65.6 birds are entangled each year, with the majority being full-grown nestlings. PE accounts for the majority of plastic production, with 3 700 kt produced in 2017, followed by PVC (210 kt), PET (166 kt), PU (122 kt) and polyamides (PA) (116 kt) (ECCC 2019c). Hydrophobic POPs of potential human health concern (such as PCBs, PAHs, and organochlorine pesticides) can readily sorb to plastics. Allen S, Allen D, Phoenix VR, Le Roux G, Durántez Jiménez P, Simonneau A, Binet S, Galop D. 2019. 2019. Polystyrene microplastics induce gut microbiota dysbiosis and hepatic lipid metabolism disorder in mice. Deep sea litter in the Arctic reportedly increased from 346 items/km2 in 2004 to 8082 items/km2 in 2014, with plastics accounting for 47% of litter (PAME 2019). De Felice B, Bacchetta R, Santo N, Tremolada P, Parolini M. 2018. Products available to consumers discarded to the environment or not properly managed may also represent a source of plastic pollution in the environment. Hatching rate was slightly reduced with exposure; however, this result was not significant. (2019) showed that exposing soil springtails (Folsomia candida) to PE microplastics for 28 days led to an increase in avoidance behaviours and an inhibition of reproduction rate by up to 70.2% at the highest exposure concentration. Like Dris et al. Atmospheric microplastic over the South China Sea and East Indian Ocean: abundance, distribution and source. Characterising the deterioration of different plastics in air and seawater. Blue sharks in the Mediterranean basin are categorized as a “Critically Endangered” species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Several researchers have identified the need for standardized protocols and stricter quality assurance in literature to ensure the availability of more high quality occurrence and exposure data in all media (Burns and Boxall 2018; Hermsen et al. Nematodes exposed to 1.0 µm PS particles had lower survival rates, shorter average lifespans, decreased average body lengths, and significant damage to GABAergic neurons in comparison to the other microplastic sizes tested. Any effects observed from the transport of chemicals are highly context dependent. A tributary sample from the Welland Canal, which is exposed to high shipping traffic and a sizable population, contained the largest concentration of microplastics. 51(2):810-818. Genes encoding the antioxidants SODg, catalase, GPx, and GSTh in the liver initially increased and then decreased in expression following exposure. Mintenig SM, Loder MGJ, Primpke S, Gerdts G. 2019. 2019), and in water samples from a mariculture system (Zhang Y et al. Garrido S, Linares M, Campillo JA, Albentosa M. 2019. Chemosphere. Wang Z, Lin T, Chen W. 2020. b Glutathione reductase, PE beads (<500 µm; size distribution of 32% with <50 µm, 25% between 50 and 200 µm, and 43% between 200 and 500 µm), Concentrations used were 0.005%, 0.02%, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% microplastics w/w in dry soil, Control group was exposed to soil without microplastic. Sci Total Environ. 628-629:474-483. Similarly, Karthik et al. Erni-Cassola G, Gibson MI, Thompson RC, Christie-Oleza JA. Several knowledge gaps were identified during the writing of this report and are outlined below with the objective of encouraging further research. Current data on the occurrence of microplastics in food are limited, and most available information concerns microplastics found in seafood, specifically fish and shellfish from marine environments. Lymphocytopenia and occupational exposures among pattern and model makers. (2019) found that 59% of the specimens examined contained at least one plastic particle, with an average of 1.15 microplastic pieces per individual. Plastic items included cigarette butts, tiny plastics or foam, bottle caps, plastic bags, plastic bottles, straws, and food wrappers (GCSC 2018b). 2018. 2020. (2004) found the entanglement rates of Australian sea lions (Neophoca cinerea) and New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri) to be 1.3% and 0.9%, respectively, in 2002. Epidemiological studies in the general population would also help to inform the human health impacts of microplastics. All samples were found to contain microplastics, with an overall average concentration of 612 microplastics/kg dw sediment. Microplastic contamination in Lake Winnipeg, Canada. In Lake Erie, pellets and fibres made up the majority of the samples, and in Lake Ontario, fragments dominated. Yu P, Liu Z, Wu D, Chen M, Lv W, Zhao Y. The proportion of plastics present in surface waters and sediments varies depending on the biological (e.g., attachment of bacteria/algae), physicochemical (e.g., plastic density), and hydrodynamic conditions (e.g., mixing of the water column) (Alimi et al. The advanced processes of ozonation combined with GAC filtration increased the removal by 17.2% to 22.2%. 2018). Environ Sci Process Impacts. 2018a). 23(23):23522-23532. Lastly, data on the occurrence and effects of nanoplastics are still emerging and poorly understood. Lu L, Wan Z, Luo T, Fu Z, Jin Y. 2020. Using a 10-day emergence assay, it was found that exposure to microplastics negatively affected the total number of emerged adults. Forekomst og kilder i mikroplastikk i sediment, og konsekvenser for bunnlevende fisk og evertebrater pÃ¥ Svalbard. Bacterial tolerances to metals and antibiotics in metal-contaminated and reference streams. Schuyler Q, Hardesty BD, Wilcox C, Townsend K. 2014. Sources, fate and effects of microplastics in the marine environment: Part two of a global assessment. (2019) found that microplastics significantly altered the size, density, and sinking rates of zooplankton fecal pellets. 2013), decreased reproduction from impedance of feeding behaviour (Cole et al. In general, microfibres are one of the most common types of microplastic found in the aquatic environment (Anderson et al. Environ Pollut. Li N, Georas S, Alexis N, Fritz P, Xia T, Williams MA, Horner E, Nel A. 2018. 2017. 408(15):2995-3043. Analysis of Microplastic Particles in Danish Drinking Water. In: Wagner M, Lambert S. editors. However, the microplastics were egested in the plaice. No effect on body weight, lung weight, or clinical observations. 2018). (2019) investigated the presence of microplastics in drinking water derived from groundwater sources in the northwest region of Germany. Measured by its ability to inhibit the IL-4-dependent proliferation of HT‑2 mouse T cells. 2019). Microplastic abundance was fairly evenly distributed across the lake surface, despite a seasonal gyre that developed in the southern end of the lake. In laboratory studies, chromium in water adsorbed to microplastic (PE, PP, PVC, PS, and PLA) particles, with low desorption. Hämer et al. 2019). Mar Pollut Bull. d No observed effect concentration 38(7):1495-1503. Hussain N, Jaitley V, Florence AT. The existing information indicates that microplastic concentrations in muscle tissue are lower than what has been reported in the GI tract of bony fish. PU foam is used as insulation in commercial and residential properties (ECCC 2019c). The properties of the receiving environment can also affect contaminant transfer. 10(2):99. At the highest temperature (26°C), D. magna and D. pulex were more sensitive. Mar Pollut Bull. 53(4):1874-1883. Kühn S, Bravo Rebolledo EL, van Franeker JA. 9(1):1505. Microplastics in Spanish Table Salt. Higher concentrations of microplastics were reported in organisms at lower trophic levels, such as shellfish, compared to apex predators, such as predatory fish. Mar Pollut Bull. 36(5):639-673. Report No. 136:341-350. Fishing-related litter also accounted for 48% to 100% of the mass of litter on the beaches of Svalbard, Norway (PAME 2019). 157:365-371. A work group report on ultrafine particles (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology): why ambient ultrafine and engineered nanoparticles should receive special attention for possible health outcomes in human subjects. In addition to PE, other plastic polymers are used in the packaging sector, such as PVC, PET and PP (ECCC 2019c). Environ Pollut. 2013.
