Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The term microplastic was first used to describe microscopic fragments of plastic debris (~20 µm in diameter) in a publication in 2004. On the basis of this paper and earlier work, it was evident that small fragments of various common plastics—including acrylic, polyamine (nylon), polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, and polystyrene—were present in coastal environments around the United Kingdom and along the eastern seaboard of the United States and that their abundance had increased substantially since the 1960s. There was evidence that microplastics were bioavailable to invertebrates and fish but only speculation on the key sources and the potential for harmful effects. |
