Macroplastic storage and remobilization in rivers [PDF]

Water, 2020
The paper presents a conceptual model of the route of macroplastic debris (5 > mm) through a fluvial system, which can support future works on the overlooked processes of macroplastic storage and remobilization in rivers.

Litter selfie : a citizen science guide for photorecording macroplastic deposition along mountain rivers using a smartphone [PDF]

, 2023
Macroplastic pollution in mountain rivers can threaten water resources, biodiversity, and the recreational values provided by them. The first step towards evaluating and then mitigating these risks is the systematic collection of reliable and spatially ...

Investigating microplastic trophic transfer in marine top predators [PDF]

, 2018
Microplastics are highly bioavailable to marine organisms, either through direct ingestion, or indirectly by trophic transfer from contaminated prey. The latter has been observed for low-trophic level organisms in laboratory conditions, yet empirical ...
