Characteristics of Microplastics Pollutionand Ecological Risk Assessmentin the Chishui River Basin
Summary
A systematic characterization of microplastics in China's Chishui River using laser direct infrared spectroscopy documented abundance, polymer types, particle sizes, shapes, and ecological risk across the river basin. The baseline contamination data and ecological risk assessment framework provide essential tools for monitoring plastic pollution trends and evaluating the cumulative burden on river ecosystems that ultimately discharge into broader marine environments.
Microplastics are ubiquitous pollutants in aquatic environments. To determine the microplastic pollution status of the Chishui River, the abundance, type, particle size, shape, ecological risk, and potential sources of microplastics were systematically studied using laser direct infrared (LDIR)...
