Same but Different: A Framework to Design and Compare Riverbank Plastic Monitoring Strategies

Frontiers in Water, 2020
Plastic pollution in rivers negatively impacts human livelihood and aquatic ecosystems. Monitoring data are crucial for a better understanding of sources, sinks and transport mechanisms of riverine macroplastics.

Tracing macroplastics redistribution and fragmentation by tillage translocation

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Soil 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. This study set up a methodology to trace macroplastic displacement, which combined magnetic iron oxide-tagged soil and macroplastic pieces

Generating Tagged Micro‐ and Nanoparticles of Poly(ethylene furanoate) and Poly(ethylene terephthalate) as Reference Materials

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 4, 20 February 2026.
We successfully developed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) nanoparticles and microparticles, covalently tagged with Alexa Fluor 633 or Alexa Fluor 647, using both mechanical and solvent‐based approaches. The particles displaying hydrodynamic diameters between 200 and 700 nm, exhibited long‐term colloidal stability ...

Riverbank macrolitter in the Dutch Rhine–Meuse delta

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Anthropogenic litter in aquatic ecosystems negatively impacts ecosystems, species and economic activities. Rivers play a key role in transporting land-based waste towards the ocean.

Table_1_Rapid Assessment of Floating Macroplastic Transport in the Rhine.XLSX

, 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 ...

A Shape‐Based Model for Drag and Terminal Velocity of Non‐Spherical Plastic Particles

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Plastic pollution in rivers is governed by how individual particles move among the bed, the water column, and the free surface, processes that depend primarily on drag and terminal velocity. Although plastic particles span a much wider range of shapes than natural sediments, many existing drag and terminal‐velocity formulations still rely on ...

Surfing Transport of Buoyant Objects Observed in the Nearshore

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Free‐drifting buoyant objects, including plastics, marine debris, and organisms, move with the wind, waves, and surface currents. These objects also surf on breaking waves; this process adds to the total transport of the objects and can control beaching.

Riverine plastic emission from Jakarta into the ocean

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Plastic pollution in aquatic environments is an increasing global risk. In recent years, marine plastic pollution has been studied to a great extent, and it has been hypothesized that land-based plastics are its main source.

Temporal stability of riverbank macroplastic

Abstract Macroplastic pollution (>0.5 cm) is prevalent on riverbanks and floodplains globally. Macroplastic can reach riverbanks via various pathways. These pathways include direct littering, overland transport by wind or surface runoff, or transport and deposition by the river.

Karakteristik Sampah Makroplastik di Pantai Wisata Lamaru Kota Balikpapan: Characteristics of Macroplastic at Lamaru Tourism Beach Balikpapan City

, 2023
Marine debris is one of the environmental problems in Indonesia's coastal and marine areas, especially macroplastics. One of the coastal areas with macroplastic problems is the tourist beach, which may adversely affect the coastal ecosystem, biota, and ...
