Relative importance of microplastics as a pathway for the transfer of hydrophobic organic chemicals to marine life
It has been hypothesised that, if ingested, plastic debris could act as vector for the transfer of
chemical contaminants from seawater to organisms, yet modelling suggest that, in the …

Enhanced desorption of persistent organic pollutants from microplastics under simulated physiological conditions
Microplastics have the potential to uptake and release persistent organic pollutants (POPs);
however, subsequent transfer to marine organisms is poorly understood. Some models …

Competitive sorption of persistent organic pollutants onto microplastics in the marine environment
Plastics are known to sorb persistent organic pollutants from seawater. However, studies to
quantify sorption rates have only considered the affinity of chemicals in isolation, unlike the …
