The Way of Macroplastic through the Environment [PDF]
Environments, 2020 With the focus on microplastic in current research, macroplastic is often not further considered. Thus, this review paper is the first to analyse the entry paths, accumulation zones, and sinks of macroplastic in the aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environment by presenting transport paths and concentrations in the environment as well as related ...

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.

Do microplastic particles affect Daphnia magna at the morphological, life history and molecular level? [PDF]
, 2017 Microplastic particles are ubiquitous not only in marine but also in freshwater ecosystems. However, the impacts of microplastics, consisting of a large variety of synthetic polymers, on freshwater organisms remains poorly understood.

Macroplastics in Lakes: An Underrepresented Ecological Problem?
Water, 2022 Lakes are the greatest reserve of available superficial inland fresh water and concurrently one of the most threatened ecosystems. Among the many pollutants, plastics contaminate lakes worldwide; notwithstanding that, little is known on the impacts of macroplastics.

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 ...
