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)Polymers are the main constituents of many materials and products in our modern world. However, their environmental safety is not assessed with the same level of detail as done for non-polymeric chemical substances. Moreover, ... -
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 ... -
Weathering Plastics as a Planetary Boundary Threat: Exposure, Fate, and Hazards
Arp, Hans Peter; Kühnel, Dana; Rummel, Christoph; MacLeod, Matthew; Potthoff, Annegret; Reichelt, Sophia; Rojo-Nieto, Elisa; Schmitt-Jansen, Mechthild; Sonnenberg, Johanna; Toorman, Erik; Jahnke, Annika (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We described in 2017 how weathering plastic litter in the marine environment fulfils two of three criteria to impose a planetary boundary threat related to “chemical pollution and the release of novel entities”: (1) ...
