Microplastic pollution is widespread around the world and inevitably comes into contact with organisms. With the accumulation of microplastics in the environment, the negative impact of microplastics on organisms has become the main focus in the field of microplastics. In this study, the different particle and concentration effects of fluorescent polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on Nostocaceae and Daphnia Magna were researched. The results indicate that PS-MPs adhered to Nostocaceae through static electricity, which hindered the absorption of photons and CO2 by Nostocaceae, resulting in a decrease in chlorophyll, a low growth rate and high mortality for Nostocaceae. PS-MPs with very small particles may be integrated into the blood of Daphnia Magna, leading to an increasing trend of mortality and a decrease in spawning rate. The research provides basic data and a reference for the effect of PS-MPs on freshwater organisms and has implications for the further study of microplastics.
The paper present a new method of HSE risk management applied in engineering projects based on the fact that all hazards can be divided into two kinds according to their characteristics, therefore two different kinds of files are developed to address different kinds of risks related with the personal action. In the mean time, a checklist is developed to ensure the safety of the condition of workplace. With the reasonable division of HSE risks management, not only both the personal action can be regulated and the safe condition of workplace can be assured and the accidents can therefore be prevented but also the method can be carried out smoothly even in the engineering projects of first-line organization
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
