Peer review history: A review of the environments, biota, and methods used in microplastics research in South Africa

2024 Score: 35 ? 0–100 AI score estimating relevance to the microplastics field. Papers below 30 are filtered from public browse.

Summary

This peer review commentary evaluates a paper reviewing the environments, biota, and methods used in microplastics research, critiquing the manuscript structure and suggesting improvements to the title and conceptual framing. The review highlights areas where the paper could more concisely distinguish between documenting the state of the field and conducting a literature synthesis.

In my opinion, the two halves of the title (the state of research and a review of current research) are a repeat or very similar to one another, I suggest changing the title into something that is more concise.

A review of the environments, biota, and methods used in microplastics research in South Africa

This review assesses the current state of microplastic research in South Africa, finding that while the country leads the African continent in publications, many studies use inconsistent methods that limit comparability. The authors call for a standardized national approach to microplastic sampling and analysis, noting that terrestrial and atmospheric environments remain largely uninvestigated.

Microplastic assessment approaches for African freshwater biota: a review

This review assessed the state of microplastic research on African freshwater organisms, evaluating the methodological approaches used across published studies and identifying regional gaps. The authors found that African freshwater biota are understudied relative to the continent's high plastic pollution burden, and identified inconsistent sampling and analytical methods as major barriers to cross-study comparisons.

Article Tier 2

Marine and freshwater microplastic research in South Africa

This review summarizes microplastic research in South Africa, noting that both marine and freshwater studies are still limited but growing. The review highlights key knowledge gaps, particularly in freshwater environments, that need to be addressed to understand the extent of South Africa's microplastic contamination.

The Occurrence and Fate of Microplastics in Wastewater Treatment Plants in South Africa and the Degradation of Microplastics in Aquatic Environments—A Critical Review

A review of microplastic research in South Africa reveals a critical data gap: despite the country generating around 120 million tons of waste annually, there is almost no published information on microplastic concentrations in its wastewater treatment plants or freshwater systems. The authors argue that urgent monitoring is needed to support effective policy, given that South Africa's infrastructure is under increasing pressure from urbanization and industrialization.

Microplastics in aquatic environment: characterization, ecotoxicological effect, implications for ecosystems and developments in South Africa

This review examined microplastic sources, transport, chemical interactions, characterization methods, and ecotoxicological effects in aquatic environments, with a focus on the South African context. The authors assessed microplastic fate in wastewater treatment plants and summarized the current state and trends of microplastic research in South African freshwater and marine ecosystems.
