The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Hackney, C. R., Cumming, V. M., Waller, C., Hak, D., Dorrell, R., Hung, N. N., & Parsons, D. R. (2025). The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia. Journal of hazardous materials, 484, Article 136762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136762

Rivers are primary vectors of plastic debris to oceans, but sources, transport mechanisms, and fate of fluvial microplastics (<5 mm) remain poorly understood, impeding accurate predictions of microplastic flux, ecological risk and socio-economic impa...

The contamination of in situ archaeological remains: A pilot analysis of microplastics in sediment samples using μFTIR (2024)
Journal Article
Rotchell, J. M., Mendrik, F., Chapman, E., Flintoft, P., Panter, I., Gallio, G., McDonnell, C., Liddle, C., Jennings, D., & Schofield, J. (2024). The contamination of in situ archaeological remains: A pilot analysis of microplastics in sediment samples using μFTIR. Science of the Total Environment, 914, Article 169941. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.169941

Background: Microplastics (MPs) are found in all environments: aquatic, airborne, and terrestrial. While their presence is not disputed, their potential impacts are not yet known. Objective: To undertake a pilot analysis of MP contamination in archae...
