Stakeholder-centric perspectives on micro- and nanoplastic analysis: needs, gaps, and analytical capabilities

João Pinto da Costa, Ana Paço, Andy M. Booth, Jes Vollertsen et autres

Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly recognized as ubiquitous environmental contaminants with potential implications for ecological and human health. However, many knowledge gaps remain that inhibit comprehensive analyses of the existing data, and, typically, test materials used differ greatly in morphology, surface chemistry …

Bridging the gap: a review on the interaction between (micro)plastics and climate change

João Pinto da Costa

Climate change and microplastic pollution are two of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Both have far-reaching effects on ecosystems, human health and global biodiversity. Climate change, driven by the increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs), leads to rising temperatures, altered …

Textile microfibers: emissions, quantification and analytical characterization. A household laundry perspective

Khawla Chouchene, Ana L. Patrício Silva, Ana Lúcia Costa, Armando C. Duarte et autres

Textile microfibers are among the most significant emerging pollutants. The textile industry and household (laundry) wastewaters are the primary sources of these microfibers, responsible for up to 90% of fragmented fibers entering the aquatic environment. This review updates current knowledge of the …

Effects of Commercially Available Plastics on Estuarine Sediment Dweller Polychaeta Hediste diversicolor

David Daniel, João Pinto da Costa, Ana V. Girão, Bruno Nunes

Microplastics (MPs) are a major contaminant in aquatic environments. Due to their size, they are likely to cause deleterious effects. In this study, we assessed the effects of MPs obtained from two commercially available plastics (PP and PET) in the polychaeta Hediste …

Quantification and identification of microfibers released from textiles during simulated accelerated washing

João Pinto da Costa, Ana Lúcia Costa, A. M. L. PIMENTA, Ana Paula Namikata da Fonte et autres

• Fabrics were subjected to accelerated washing to assess release of microfibers. • Different methodologies were used: mass balances, microscopy, mFTIR, mRaman, py-GC/MS. • Use of software for automated identification may result in misidentifications. • International standards should be applied for direct …
