Estimation of plastic waste accumulation in the Arctic
Summary
Researchers analyzed sources, spatial distribution patterns, and mass transfer dynamics of plastic and microplastic pollution in the Arctic, proposing plastic waste management approaches and a community-based monitoring program to track microplastic accumulation across Arctic regions.
Sources responsible for pollution of the Arctic by plastic waste are considered. Approaches to plastic waste management are proposed. The spatial distribution of plastic waste is analyzed. Conclusions on the specific features of mass transfer of plastic and microplastics are drawn. A program for involving the local population in monitoring microplastic pollution is proposed.
