The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments has become a
significant concern, with freshwater sediments acting as terminal sinks, rapidly picking up …

Freshwater microplastics (MPs) can profoundly impact ecosystem functioning and human
health. Understanding the current status of MP occurrence and the network of factors that …

Microplastics have numerous different shapes, affecting the fate and transport of these
particles in the environment. However, theoretical models generally assume microplastics to …

The settling behavior of microplastics (MPs) plays a pivotal role in their transport and fate in
aquatic environments, but the dominant mechanisms and physics governing the settling of …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a well document threat to our aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems, however, the mechanisms by which MPs are transported in river flows are still …

While it is well established that a biofilm contributes to the sinking of plastics, the underlying
mechanisms of how it influences the vertical transport of plastics have not been well …

Plastic pollution is overflowing in rivers. A limited understanding of the physics of plastic
transport in rivers hinders monitoring, the prediction of plastic fate and restricts the …

Intrinsically floating microplastics (MP) such as polyethene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) are
among the most common MPs found in aquatic sediments. There must hence be …

The prediction of vertical transport of microplastics (MPs) is essential for understanding their
multidimensional transport, fate, and environmental risks, but drag models applicable to …

Microplastics (MPs) have been detected ubiquitously in fluvial systems and advective
transfer has been proposed as a potential mechanism for the transport of (sub‐) pore‐scale …
