Designing a Novel Method for Personalizing Recommendations to Decrease Plastic Pollution [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Third world countries tend to have a higher share of plastic waste that is inadequately managed while the First world countries have higher plastic waste generation per person. A difference in the characteristics of plastic pollution depending on the country's standing results in varying optimal recommendations for users.

A coupled model for the linked dynamics of marine pollution by microplastics and plastic-related organic pollutants [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The pervasiveness of microplastics in global oceans is raising concern about its impacts on organisms. While quantifying its toxicity is still an open issue, sampling evidence has shown that rarely is marine microplastics found clean; rather, it is often contaminated by other types of chemical pollutants, some known to be harmful to biota and humans ...
