Circulation 2016
Karen Duis, Anja Coors

Summary

Esta revisión examina el problema de la contaminación por plásticos en los mares de América del Sur, analizando fuentes terrestres y marinas, distribución espacial y efectos sobre la fauna marina. El estudio destaca la necesidad de políticas regionales coordinadas para reducir los aportes de plástico desde los grandes ríos sudamericanos.

[11] and selected recent publication. Table S2. Overview of ranges and mean or median values (underlined) of concentrations of microplastics (or, where specified, small plastic particles) in the freshwater environment. Table S3. Overview of effect concentrations derived in ecotoxicity tests with aquatic organisms exposed to microplastics.
