    • Microplastics in brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) from an Irish riverine system 

      O'Connor, James D.; Murphy, Sinéad; Lally, Heather T.; O'Connor, Ian; Nash, Róisín; O'Sullivan, John; Bruen, Michael; Heerey, Linda; Koelmans, Albert A.; Cullagh, Alan; Cullagh, Declan; Mahon, Anne Marie (Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
      Rivers play an important role in the overall transport of microplastic pollution (1 μm to 5 mm), with fluvial dynamics expected to influence biotic interactions, particularly for fish. So far, there have been few assessments ...

    • Modelling the transfer and accumulation of microplastics in a riverine freshwater food web 

      O'Connor, James D.; Lally, Heather T.; Koelmans, Albert A.; Mahon, Anne Marie; O'Connor, Ian; Nash, Róisín; O'Sullivan, John J.; Bruen, Michael; Heerey, Linda; Murphy, Sinéad (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-26)
      Microplastics are a pervasive pollutant of aquatic ecosystems and are reported to interact with a wide range of aquatic biota. The complexities of natural food webs means that the transfer and accumulation of microplastics ...

    • Potential pathways, trophic transfer and bioindicators of microplastics in freshwater systems 

      O'Connor, James; Lally, Heather; Mahon, Anne Marie; O'Connor, Ian; Nash, Róisín; Jones, Noelle; Kelly, Mark; O'Sullivan, John; Bruen, Michael; Heerey, Linda; Koelmans, Albert; Murphy, Sinéad (2018-03)
      Microplastic (MP) polymers, 0.1 µm - 5 mm in size, are ubiquitous within aquatic environments. Due to their small size there is a risk that they may infiltrate and transfer within aquatic food webs. Though a limited number ...
