Quantification of riverine macroplastics in a farmland area in Japan. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res IntAbstract Plastic pollution has become a major environmental threat, with extensive research focusing on the transfer of plastic waste from urban areas to oceans. However, limited attention has been given to the role of agricultural areas in plastic emissions to rivers.

Transfer dynamics of macroplastics in estuaries – New insights from the Seine estuary: Part 3. What fate for macroplastics? [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021 Macroplastic emissions from the Seine estuary to the English Channel were estimated using institutional cleaning of riverbanks, combined with a tagged litter experiment. Cleaning were performed between March 2018 and April 2019 by the non-profit company Naturaul'un over 19 sites covering 20 km of riverbanks.

A local-to-global emissions inventory of macroplastic pollution. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Abstract Negotiations for a global treaty on plastic pollution 1 will shape future policies on plastics production, use and waste management. Its parties will benefit from a high-resolution baseline of waste flows and plastic emission sources to enable identification of ...

Plastics in soil description and surveys – practical considerations and field guide
Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022 A growing evidence base has shown that plastics are widely distributed in soils and could have negative effects on soil functions. However, within international standards for soil description, plastics are handled so far as one part of human-made ...

Large variation in Mekong river plastic transport between wet and dry season
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Plastic pollution in rivers is of increased global concern. Rivers act both as pathways for land-based plastic waste into the ocean, and as plastic reservoirs for long-term retention.

Towards Underwater Macroplastic Monitoring Using Echo Sounding
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Plastics originating from land are mainly transported to the oceans by rivers. The total plastic transport from land to seas remains uncertain because of difficulties in measuring and the lack of standard observation techniques.

Macroplastic deposition and flushing in the Meuse river following the July 2021 European floods
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Rivers play an important role in the macroplastics transport and retention dynamics in the environment. Therefore, gaining an understanding of these processes is vital in order to help determine the fate of macroplastic in the environment.
