Microplastics in the marine enviroment: Sources, impacts and recomendations
Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Frias, Joao et alli Genre: Technical book Publisher: Marine and Freshwater Research Centre Edition: 1 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 187 Description: Plastic pollution in the marine environment has been consistently reported since the late 1960s, however, recent evidence of global widespread microplastic pollution has led to an exponential increase in both research and policy efforts. This report reviews recent publications on the effects and impacts of microplastics in the marine environment with the aims to provide useful information for decision-makers, stakeholders, researchers working in this field, and the general public. Every effort has been undertaken here to verify valid sources of information, while interacting with marine litter and microplastic experts to ensure that the most recent and reliable information available is part of this report. It is common to refer to the topic of microplastics with prudence due to the many uncertainties associated with the lack of common definitions or standardised methodologies for sampling, processing, data analysis and reporting. However, it is important to take stock of the multiple efforts conducted thus far by many researchers throughout the world. This report does not intend to diminish the contribution that plastic as a material has made to the socio-economic development of our species or the immense added value it has contributed to several research fields including medicine and computing. The future challenges associated with plastic pollution lie on the distinction between essential and non-essential single-use items; on efficient and adequate global solid waste and wastewater management; and on eco-design approaches that follow universal circular economy principles. The combination of responses to these challenges will lead to the reduction of the enormous quantities of plastic that are accidentally or intentionally disposed in the marine environment, every year.
