- W2890195613 abstract "Plastic production is only increasing, and it‟s not showing any signs of slowingdown. Microplastics are particles smaller than 5 mm, either producedintentionally, or created from items being withered into small particles.Microplastic contamination in marine environments is higher closer to cities, andmost of the plastic litter eventually ends up in the oceans. Microplastics have beenfound in habitats all over the planet however, and are a huge environmentalconcern. This literary review study aims to assess the current knowledgeconcerning terrestrial sources of microplastics, and possible effects ofmicroplastics in a marine environment. Specifically this study will focus on theOresund, a shallow strait, in-between Denmark and Sweden, two denselypopulated areas. The literature reviewed in this study indicates that over 1100tonnes of microplastics could come from the Swedish coastline and into theOresund. Several major sources and pathways were identified: littering, artificialturfs, roads, runoff, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and wastewatersludge. Most microplastics entering into WWTPs get caught in the wastewatersludge. A percentage. however escapes into water courses leading to the Oresund.The filtered out microplastics get retained in the waste sludge, which is spread onagricultural soils. Soils adjacent to Oresund receive approximately 139 tonnesmicroplastic via waste sludge every year. Trafficated roads in the Oresund regionyearly release 798 tonnes of microplastic from tyres and markings, and artificialturfs release 145 – 248 tonnes of microplastic. In Oresund microplastics can beconsumed by plankton, molluscs, echinoderms, crustaceans and vertebrates.Microplastics impact the entire ecosystem, proving toxic and lethal to many filterfeedersand disruptive and damaging to fish. Via Oresund, which also functions asa nursery to nearby fish populations, microplastics can negatively affect adjacentregions, but more research is needed to fully understand the potential effects ofmicroplastics throughout Oresund." @default.
