Data from observations of the role of water hyacinths in macroplastic transport and accumulation
This dataset presents the observations from a monitoring campaign conducted at Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, in April-June 2020. The campaign focused on the Saigon river and aimed at quantifying the role of water hyacinths in macroplastic transport ...

The impact of floods on plastic pollution
Global SustainabilityNon-Technical Summary Plastic harms ecosystem health and human livelihood on land, in rivers, and in the sea. To prevent and reduce plastic pollution, we must know how plastics move through the environment.

Preferential deposition of macroplastic on floodplains
Abstract Floods have a large impact on the mobilization, distribution, and retention of plastic in rivers. During floods plastic transport in rivers increases, due to flushing of additional material into the river and (re-)mobilization of macroplastic previously deposited on floodplains and buried in the riverbed.

The shapes and sizes of macroplastics and other litter in rivers
Environmental Science & TechnologyLimited data exists on physical and geometric properties of river litter. To resolve this, we reveal the physical-structural relationships of river litter, using two of the most comprehensive datasets generated to date. First, we dissect the properties of river litter using a detailed dataset of over 14,000 riverbank items, for which their dimensions ...

Settling and rising velocities of environmentally weathered micro- and macroplastic particles
, 2020 Microplastic is exposed to numerous weathering processes in the environment, which change particle properties and thus influence transport behaviors, including settling and rising velocities in aquatic environments. However, the extent to which particles

Spatiotemporal variation in macroplastic abundances along a subtropical Austral river system
Plastic pollution is a ubiquitous problem that poses a threat to society and the environment. The issue is especially pervasive in the aquatic environment, where large amounts of plastic debris accumulate from numerous anthropogenic pathways.

Effects of macroplastic on the performance of aggregates of Mytilus spp. and their associated biota
, 2021 The presence of macroplastic in the ocean poses a threat to many marine organisms. The majority of recent studies, however, is focused on the impact of microplastic.
