Occurrence, environmental behavior, and co-pollution of microplastics with HMs in urban channelized rivers

Environmental Science Water Research & Technology 2025
Yan Zhang, Jinglu Che, Yang Liu

Summary

Researchers investigated the occurrence, environmental behavior, and co-pollution dynamics of microplastics and heavy metals in urban channelized rivers, examining how frequent anthropogenic activities introduce these contaminants into aquatic ecosystems. The study characterized spatial distribution patterns and interactions between microplastics and heavy metals, contributing to understanding combined pollution risks in urban waterways.

Complex and frequent anthropogenic activities have released tons of numerous exogenous pollutants into aquatic ecosystems, notably heavy metals (HMs) and microplastics (MPs) in urban channelized rivers.
