The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.Short Abstract The analysis revealed that farmers in South Africa are aware of the negative impacts of plastic pollution on livestock health; however, they are constrained by a lack of waste management services, land shortages, livestock theft, climate change and limited veterinary services.

The Norwegian Environment Agency (NEA) aims to strengthen environmental monitoring of macroplastic and litter pollution in Norway. Macroplastic and litter are items above 25 mm. Monitoring of litter in the Northern Fulmar is included (1-25 mm) as this is an established indicator representing biota. The other environmental compartments covered in this report are coastal waters, oceans, lakes, rivers, and terrestrial environments. This report identifies international obligations and national needs [PDF]

The effect of groyne field on trapping macroplastic. Preliminary results from laboratory experiments [PDF]
Macroplastic, a precursor of microplastic pollution, has become a new scope of research interest. However, the physical processes of macroplastic transport and deposition in rivers are poorly understood, which makes the decisions of where to locate ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Ecosystem metabolism (e.g., gross primary production [GPP], respiration [R], and net ecosystem production) integrates the activity of aerobic organisms and is an indicator of environmental change. Microplastics (i.e., particles 1–5 mm) are widespread in freshwater ecosystems and are colonized by biofilms and other organisms.

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.

Plastic pollution: advances and challenges of two recent decrees in Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyPlastic pollution can be understood as degradation (or damage) to the environment due to substances made of different synthetic polymers (e.g., polypropylene) of different sizes (e.g., microplastics).

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.
