Microplastic Pollution in the Inlet and Outlet Networks of Rawa Jombor Reservoir: Accumulation in Aquatic Fauna, Interactions with Heavy Metals, and Health Risk Assessment

Environment and Natural Resources Journal, 2022
Streams are regarded as a pathway for spreading microplastics from land to various aquatic systems. The contamination of streams connected to the Rawa Jombor Reservoir may increase microplastic concentrations in the reservoir. The water coming out of the

Trapping of Microplastics in Halocline and Turbidity Layers of the Semi-enclosed Baltic Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Microplastic pollution in semi-enclosed seas is gaining attention since microplastics are more likely to accumulate there. However, research on the vertical distribution of microplastics and impact factors is still limited. In this study, we focus on the

Scientists’ mental models of microplastics: insights into expert perceptions from an exploratory comparison of research methods

Microplastics have been studied extensively, yet considerable uncertainty remains about the risks they pose. One way to characterize the state of knowledge about a hazard and the risks it poses is to examine how scientists specializing in that hazard ...

Vertical distribution of microplastics in Hood Canal and Main Basin, Puget Sound, Washington

, 2019
Microplastics have been an increasingly important pollutant and area of research over the past 50 years. Although microplastics threaten marine ecosystems in various ways, little is known about their sink, vertical distribution or role in estuaries. To
