Mismanaged Plastic Waste as a Predictor for River Plastic Pollution

Science of The Total Environment
Hydrometeorological processes are often assumed to be key drivers of plastic transport. However, the predominant focus on these factors overlooks the impact of anthropogenic factors, such as mismanaged plastic waste (MPW) on plastic transport variability.
