Rapid Assessment of Floating Macroplastic Transport in the Rhine [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Most marine litter pollution is assumed to originate from land-based sources, entering the marine environment through rivers. To better understand and quantify the risk that plastic pollution poses on aquatic ecosystems, and to develop effective ...

Macroplastic fragmentation in rivers
Environment International, 2023 The process of macroplastic (>0.5 cm) fragmentation results in the production of smaller plastic particles, which threaten biota and human health and are difficult to remove from the environment.

Micro- and macroplastic accumulation in a newly formed Spartina alterniflora colonized estuarine saltmarsh in southeast China [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019 In recent years, there is great concern about plastic pollution due to the identification of several environmental risks associated with microplastics (<5 mm).

Tracing macroplastics redistribution and fragmentation by tillage translocation [PDF]
Journal of Hazardous MaterialsSoil is polluted with plastic waste from macro to submicron level. Our understanding of macroplastics (> 5 mm) occurrence and behavior has remained comparatively elusive, mainly due to a lack of a tracing mechanism.

Roadmap for long-term macroplastic monitoring in rivers [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 <p>Macroplastic pollution in and around rivers negatively impacts human livelihood, and aquatic ecosystems. Monitoring data are crucial for better understanding and quantifying this problem, and for the design of effective intervention strategies.

Seasonality of riverine macroplastic transport [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractMarine plastic pollution is an increasing environmental threat. Although it is assumed that most marine plastics are transported from land to the ocean through rivers, only limited data on riverine plastic transport exists. Recently, new methods have been introduced to characterize riverine plastics consistently through time and space.
