Summary

Researchers surveyed microplastics in water and sediment along Vietnam's Red River from inland areas to the Gulf of Tonkin, documenting the types, sizes, and polymer compositions present. The findings show how a major river system acts as a pathway delivering plastic pollution from a densely populated landscape into coastal marine waters.
