Outdoor Microplastic Analysis Using Inlet Filters from an NOx Regulatory Air Quality Monitoring Device (2022)
Journal Article
Jenner, L. C., Kureshi, R. R., White, D., Chapman, E., Sadofsky, L. R., & Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Outdoor Microplastic Analysis Using Inlet Filters from an NOx Regulatory Air Quality Monitoring Device. Atmosphere, 13(12), Article 2017. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos13122017

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) are a ubiquitous environmental contaminant of emerging concern. Sampling methods provide information relating to surface area concentration and MP characteristics, without direct comparison with routinely measured stan...

Microplastics in the surgical environment (2022)
Journal Article
Field, D. T., Green, J. L., Bennett, R., Jenner, L. C., Sadofsky, L., Chapman, E., Loubani, M., & Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Microplastics in the surgical environment. Environment International, 170, Article 107630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107630

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently detected within indoor and outdoor air samples. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. The aim was to quantify and characterise the MPs present within the surgica... Read More about Microplastics in the surgical environment.

Sex and gametogenesis stage are strong drivers of gene expression in Mytilus edulis exposed to environmentally relevant plasticiser levels and pH 7.7 (2022)
Journal Article
Mincarelli, L., Chapman, E. C., Rotchell, J. M., Turner, A., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (in press). Sex and gametogenesis stage are strong drivers of gene expression in Mytilus edulis exposed to environmentally relevant plasticiser levels and pH 7.7. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-022-23801-3

Plastic pollution and changes in oceanic pH are both pressing environmental issues. Little emphasis, however, has been placed on the influence of sex and gametogenesis stage when investigating the effects of such stressors. Here, we examined histolog...

Outdoor atmospheric microplastics within the Humber region (United Kingdom): Quantification and chemical characterisation of deposited particles present (2022)
Journal Article
Jenner, L., Sadofsky, L., Danopoulos, E., Chapman, E., White, D., Jenkins, R., & Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Outdoor atmospheric microplastics within the Humber region (United Kingdom): Quantification and chemical characterisation of deposited particles present. Atmosphere, 13(2), Article 265. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos13020265

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently captured within air samples on a global scale. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. An urban sampling site in the Humber region (U.K.) has been sampled over a 1...

Gonadal atresia, estrogen-responsive, and apoptosis-specific mRNA expression in marine mussels from the East China coast: a preliminary study (2022)
Journal Article
Zhu, J., Li, J., Chapman, E. C., Shi, H., Ciocan, C. M., Chen, K., …Rotchell, J. M. (in press). Gonadal atresia, estrogen-responsive, and apoptosis-specific mRNA expression in marine mussels from the East China coast: a preliminary study. Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00128-022-03461-2

This preliminary survey analysed mussel atresia incidences, estrogen-responsive and apoptotic-specific molecular end points, and aqueous and gonadal levels of selected estrogens from the East China coast. Estrogen levels were low (e.g. < LOD-28.36ng/...
