Quantifying Floating Plastic Debris at Sea Using Vessel-Based Optical Data and Artificial Intelligence

Remote Sensing, 2021
Despite recent advances in remote sensing of large accumulations of floating plastic debris, mainly in coastal regions, the quantification of individual macroplastic objects (>50 cm) remains challenging.

Eating Near the Dump: Identification of Nearby Plastic Hotspot as a Proxy for Potential Microplastic Contamination in the Norwegian Lobster (Nephrops norvegicus)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Plastic waste dumped in the marine environment has severe ecological, social and economic impacts. In recent years, a series of scientific studies documented the contamination by macroplastic and its impact on marine organisms through the accidental ...

Riverine macroplastic gradient along watercourses: A global overview

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Nowadays, plastics represent growing concern in aquatic habitats, harming more and more both ecosystem and human health. Since rivers are the main carriers of plastics to the sea, some studies were conducted on the transport of overall small plastics ...

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.

Quantification of riverine macroplastics in a farmland area in Japan. [PDF]

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
Abstract 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 ...
