Abstract

Music and Noise Exposure Increases Immobile Timein the Forced Swim Task in Male, but not Female, Rats

Highlights

Plastics are synthetic organic polymers derived from the polymerization of monomers extracted from petroleum and other products
The MPs present in the marine environment result from the fragmentation of larger plastic debris or may be introduced into the water and sediments already as micro- or nano-sized particles
The defilement of oceans by microplastics is of great concern due to its ecological as well as health impacts

Summary

Introduction

Plastics are synthetic organic polymers derived from the polymerization of monomers extracted from petroleum and other products. Larger plastic debris slowly degrades into small fragments with various sizes ranging from meter to micrometer due to changing environmental conditions. Plastic debris can be expound and narrated in a variety of ways by shape, size, color, polymer type, origin (e.g. from the land, fishing-related or sewage-related debris) and original usage (e.g. packaging, rope) Based on origin, they are categorized into primary and secondary microplastics depending on whether the particles were originally manufactured to be that size (primary) or whether they have resulted from the breakdown of macroplastics (secondary). The MPs present in the marine environment result from the fragmentation of larger plastic debris or may be introduced into the water and sediments already as micro- or nano-sized particles.
