First account of microplastics in pelagic sporting dolphinfish from the eastern Mexican coast of Baja California Sur.

This study is a baseline data on the presence of MPs from the gastro-intestinal tracts (GITs) in Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, from eastern Baja California Sur, México. 878 MPs items (in %) of fibers (29%), fragments (68%) and films (1.3%) were detected from 51 GITs of Coryphaena hippurus.

Chondroblastic Variant of Osteosarcoma Mandible-an Intent to Cure.

Osteosarcoma is one of the rarer malignancies that affects the facial skeletal structures. There are only a few retrospective studies discussing the management and outcomes of this malignancy due to the rarity of the disease. Unlike osteosarcoma of long bones, this malignancy has more incidence in patients in the older age group leading to difficulty in the management of this condition but with better outcomes due to the contrasting behavior of this malignancy.

Evidences of microplastics in Hawassa Lake, Ethiopia: A first-hand report.

Investigation on freshwater MPs has increased gradually across the world, since they are main trajectory for the transportation of MPs from inland to ocean. The present study aims to identify the presence, distribution and the type of MPs in the lake Hawassa, Ethiopia. Twenty-five shoreline surface sediments were separated using ZnCl solution and was microphotographed using SEM and type of MP was identified using FTIR spectra.

Seasonal tendencies of microplastics around coral reefs in selected Marine Protected National Parks of Gulf of California, Mexico.

This study focuses on the presence of MPs in the sediment beds around coral reefs of MPNPs in Baja California Sur, México. Based on seasonal sampling results, comparison of MPs from Cabo Pulmo (avg. 680.

Occurrence, distribution and provenance of micro plastics: A large scale quantitative analysis of beach sediments from southeastern coast of South Africa.

Microplastics (MPs) existence, identification and source were investigated by studying a total of 2539 particles in 349 sediment samples from nine different tourist beaches [(Sodwana & Richard Bays; Ballito, Mtunzini, Tugela, Zinkwazi, Ballito (north & south) and Durban north & south)] of southeastern coast of South Africa. They are more abundant in the beaches of the Durban city, followed by the Sodwana & Richards Bays, Ballito and Mtunzini. The black particles prevailed over the blue, white, pink, brown, red and green MPs.
