Millions of tons of riverine plastic waste enter the ocean via estuaries annually. The plastics
accumulate, fragment, mix and interact with organisms in these dynamic systems, but such …

Despite the importance of estuaries as transition zones between freshwater and marine
compartments, their role in the transport of microplastics is still unclear. This review analyzes …

Migration of microplastics (MPs) in soil–groundwater systems plays a pivotal role in
determining its concentration in aquifers and future threats to the terrestrial environment …

Microplastics (MPs) patterns in a weakly-stratified estuary were investigated using a
combined approach of observations and modeling. The study was conducted in the …

Plastic budgets in the marine environment and their long-term trends are yet to be fully
understood. Measuring the accumulation rates in bottom sediments is crucial to solving the …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants with significant ecological and human
health implications. This study examines the abundance, characteristics, and distribution of …

Abstract The Atlantic Islands National Park (AINP) in Galicia (NW of Spain) are host to large
colonies of yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis). Here, we aimed to provide baseline …

Microplastics pollution has led to irreversible environmental consequences and has
triggered global concerns. It has been shown that water resources and marine food …

Floating plastic debris represent an environmental threat to the maritime environment as
they drift the oceans. Developing tools to detect and remove them from our oceans is critical …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is ubiquitous in the oceans and poses serious threats to the
marine ecosystems. Nowadays numerical modeling has become one of the widely used …
