Assessing and managing environmental hazards of polymers: historical development, science advances and policy options
Groh, Ksenia J.; Arp, Hans Peter; MacLeod, Matthew; Wang, Zhanyun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Effects of Leachates from UV-Weathered Microplastic in Cell-Based Bioassays
Rummel, Christophe Daniel; Escher, Beate I.; Sandblom, Oskar; Plassmann, Merle; Arp, Hans Peter; MacLeod, Matthew; Jahnke, Annika (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Standard ecotoxicological testing of microplastic does not provide insight into the influence that environmental weathering by, e.g., UV light has on related effects. In this study, we leached chemicals from plastic into ... -
Reducing Uncertainty and Confronting Ignorance about the Possible Impacts of Weathering Plastic in the Marine Environment
Jahnke, Annika; Arp, Hans Petter Heinrich; Escher, Beate I.; Gewert, Berit; Gorokhova, Elena; Kühnel, Dana; Ogonowski, Martin; Potthof, Annegret; Rummel, Christophe Daniel; Schmitt-Jansen, Mechtild; Toorman, Erik; MacLeod, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Plastic in the global oceans fulfills two of the three conditions for pollution to pose a planetary boundary threat because it is causing planetary-scale exposure that is not readily reversible. Plastic is a planetary ... -
