Spatial variability of microplastic pollution on surface of rivers in a mountain-plain transitional area: A case study in the Chin Ling-Wei River Plain, China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Inland lakes and rivers are large reservoirs of microplastics. But currently, not too much research was done on microplastics of mountain rivers. The protection of water sources from microplastics is extremely significant for the safety of human drinking

Human Consumption of Microplastics.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2019
Microplastics are ubiquitous across ecosystems, yet the exposure risk to humans is unresolved. Focusing on the American diet, we evaluated the number of microplastic particles in commonly consumed foods in relation to their recommended daily intake.

Microplastics in the digestive tracts of commercial fish from the marine ranching in east China sea, China

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2020
Microplastics are emerging pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial environment. Monitoring the ingestion of microplastics by fish in the environment is crucial to understanding the risks posed by microplastics in the marine ecosystem.

Is the Hyporheic Zone Relevant beyond the Scientific Community? [PDF]

, 2019
Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding sediments along the river network. We elaborate on the main physical, biological,

Microplastics Can Change Soil Properties and Affect Plant Performance.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2019
Microplastics can affect biophysical properties of the soil. However, little is known about the cascade of events in fundamental levels of terrestrial ecosystems, i.e., starting with the changes in soil abiotic properties and propagating across the ...
