From Land to Sea: Model for the Documentation of Land-Sourced Plastic Litter
AI summary Read the abstract
A systematic model was developed to document and quantify land-sourced plastic litter pathways from point of disposal to ocean entry, providing a structured framework for tracking how improperly discarded plastic on land ultimately contributes to marine microplastic pollution. Better documentation of land-to-sea transport routes is essential for targeting waste management interventions at the highest-impact points in the plastic pollution pipeline.
Estimating plastic pollution levels in rivers through harmonized monitoring strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers proposed harmonized monitoring strategies for measuring plastic pollution in rivers, addressing the need for standardized methods to accurately track plastic accumulation in freshwater systems and its eventual transport to ocean environments.
Trailing the flow: source, fate and sink of microplastics in global rivers
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesized global research on microplastic pollution in rivers, covering sources, entry routes, and the key processes governing transport and transformation—including weathering, aggregation, sinking, and resuspension—along with ecotoxicological and socioeconomic impacts. Because rivers are the primary conduit transferring land-based microplastics to the ocean, understanding riverine dynamics is essential for designing effective interception strategies before contamination reaches marine food webs and human seafood supplies.
Tracing the Sources of Microplastics in Aquatic Environments: Current Knowledge of Sources Emission, Migration, and Traceability Models
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics enter aquatic environments from terrestrial and atmospheric sources, and how traceability models have evolved from subjective analysis to data-driven machine learning approaches that can identify pollution sources by learning relationships between microplastic characteristics and environmental variables.
An integrated dual-model framework for microplastic flux estimation and source apportionment in tropical island river systems
AI summary
This survey characterized beach litter composition and abundance in Lagos, Nigeria, documenting the types and quantities of plastic and non-plastic waste items along urban coastlines. The findings reflect waste management challenges in a rapidly urbanizing West African megacity and inform cleanup prioritization.
