Rivers are a major pathway for the transport of plastics into the ocean. Plastic pollution
capture devices offer one way to reduce the accumulation of plastic in the environment. This …

Macroplastics are the primary contributor to riverine plastic pollution by mass, posing a wide
range of serious threats for riverine systems, from adversely affecting various life forms …

Land-based plastic waste, carried to the sea through rivers, is considered a main source of
marine plastic pollution. However, most plastics that leak into the environment never make it …

Abstract Knowledge on environmental plastic emission and spatial and temporal
accumulation is vital for the development of successful mitigation strategies and risk …

Plastic pollution represents the most widespread threaten throughout the world and,
amongst aquatic habitats, freshwaters and in particular riparian zones seems to be highly …

Current riverine plastic monitoring best practices mainly consider surface observations, thus
neglecting the underlying distribution of plastics in the water column. Bias on plastic budgets …

Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a growing threat to ecosystem health and human
livelihood. Recent studies show that the majority of environmental plastics accumulate within …

Wind and rain are considered main drivers for mobilization and transport of macroplastics on
land, yet there is a lack of empirical data that quantifies this. We present lab experiment …

Plastic pollution in the natural environment is causing increasing concern at both the local
and global scale. Understanding the dispersion of plastic through the environment is of key …

Rivers are assumed to be one of the major conduits for plastics entering the sea, but little is
known about the interchange of plastic litter between rivers and coastal waters. We …
