Boland, John; Gounko, Iouri; Xiao, Liwen; Li, Dunzhu (2020)Polypropylene-based products are commonly used for food preparation and storage, but their capacity to release microplastics is poorly understood. We investigated the potential exposure of infants to microplastics from ... -
Real-world natural passivation phenomena can limit microplastic generation in water
Xiao, Liwen; Gounko, Iouri; Shvets, Igor; Moebius, Matthias; Li, Dunzhu; Shi, Yunhong (2022)Previous studies using Deionized (DI) water found that household plastic products used in food preparation and storage are a local and immediate source of extremely high quantities of microplastics (MPs) released ... -
Sampling, Identification and Characterization of Microplastics Release from Polypropylene Baby Feeding Bottle during Daily Use
Xiao, Liwen; Boland, John; Gounko, Iouri; Li, Dunzhu (2021)Microplastics (MPs) are becoming a global concern due to the potential risk to human health. Case studies of plastic products (i.e., plastic single-use cups and kettles) indicate that MP release during daily use can be ...
