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.

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.

Life on bottles: Colonisation of macroplastics by freshwater biota
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 While rivers are known to be the main vectors of plastics to the sea, it seems surprising that studies on interactions (e.g. colonisation/entrapment and drift) between macroplastics and biota continue to remain largely neglected, notwithstanding they represent unexpected threats to freshwater biota and riverine habitats.

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 ...

Macroplastic in Seabirds at Mirny, Antarctica [PDF]
Birds, 2020 Plastic debris makes up the majority of marine debris around the world, and pollution is a serious threat to marine wildlife. Threats represent two types of biological interactions with plastic: entanglement and ingestion. This paper describes interactions of seabirds with plastic in Mirny and draw the attention of researchers to the existing problem ...

Analysis of macroplastic transport in a river regulated by groynes [PDF]
, 2023 The transport of buoyant macroplastic litter in the presence of concrete groynes and vegetation in a straight channel was investigated. Four variants of channel configuration were tested during laboratory measurements. Water velocity fields were measured

Categorization of plastic debris on sixty-six beaches of the Laurentian Great Lakes, North America
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The Laurentian Great Lakes system is a major global sink for plastic debris. An area of 10 m ^2 on each of sixty-six Great Lakes beaches was sampled for large micro-, meso- and macroplastic items.
