2 de jul. de 2021 · We discuss plastic distribution, transport, and eventual loss from the Earth system; how contamination of environmental samples by plastics might affect OC studies; how applying concepts and methods from the geosciences might accelerate our understanding of plastics; and how the study of plastics may advance fundamental ...
14 de jun. de 2019 · Our proposed cycling approach is founded sequentially on atmospheric sciences and biogeochemistry, trophic transfer, and human health and exposure. Here we formally define the plastic cycle (Figure 1) as the continuous and complex movement of plastic materials between different abiotic and biotic ecosystem compartments, including ...
13 de ene. de 2021 · To guide our efforts to understand the fate and transport of plastic in the environment, I suggest considering the plastic cycle—borrowing from frameworks used for carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus (Dolman, 2019).
6 de dic. de 2021 · There is an urgent need to comprehensively evaluate the environmental plastics cycle and advance understanding of key transport and fate mechanisms to minimize human exposure to plastics...
1 de mar. de 2016 · The rise of plastics since the mid-20th century, both as a material element of modern life and as a growing environmental pollutant, has been widely described. Their distribution in both the terrestrial and marine realms suggests that they are a key geological indicator of the Anthropocene, as a distinctive stratal component.
20 de jul. de 2022 · The hydrological, meteorological, oceanic and even biological progresses naturally influence the plastic cycle and flow directions within the Earth's Four Spheres. Anthropogenic activities participated in all sections of plastic transportation, from sources to sinks.
12 de abr. de 2021 · In modeling the sources of plastic to the atmosphere, we show how the global plastic cycle is influenced more by historical plastic sources from mismanaged waste than emissions in the current year.
