Understanding the fate of plastics in the environment is of critical importance for the
quantitative assessment of the biological impacts of plastic waste. Specially, there is a need …

With the focus on microplastic in current research, macroplastic is often not further
considered. Thus, this review paper is the first to analyse the entry paths, accumulation …

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 …

The paper presents a conceptual model of the route of macroplastic debris (> 5 mm) through
a fluvial system, which can support future works on the overlooked processes of …

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 …

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 …

The geographical environment fundamentally influences the transport and deposition of
sediments, including microplastics. In addition, the socioeconomic differences inherent in …

Studies on the influence of hydrodynamic conditions on anthropogenic microfiber (MF) and
microplastic (MP) distributions in freshwater environments are sparse. In this study, we …

Recent research is directed toward studying plastic pollution in rivers, and estuaries due to
the importance of freshwater bodies in all aspects of life. The river deltas and estuaries are …

Several studies have suggested Indonesia to be among the top plastic polluting countries
globally. Data on the presence and amounts of plastic pollution are required to help design …
