Transport Process of Microplastics from Terrestrial to Aquatic Environment: Evaluation of the Current Knowledge
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics travel from terrestrial sources — including agriculture, urban runoff, and atmospheric deposition — into rivers, lakes, and ultimately the ocean, synthesizing current knowledge on transport mechanisms and knowledge gaps. Understanding land-to-water transport pathways is critical for identifying where interventions can most effectively reduce the flow of plastics into aquatic ecosystems and human food sources.
Modeling the Fate and Transport of Microplastics in Coastal Areas
AI summary Read the abstract
Numerical models can simulate how microplastics move through coastal environments by integrating hydrodynamic, biological, and atmospheric processes, helping predict accumulation hotspots and exposure zones. These modeling tools are vital for guiding cleanup efforts and assessing risks to coastal communities and marine food sources.
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.
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.
Tracing the Path: Fate and Transport of Microplastics from Aquatic Systems to Soils
AI summary Read the abstract
This article traces how microplastics travel from aquatic systems into soils, exploring the physical and chemical processes that govern their movement and ultimate fate in terrestrial environments. Understanding these transport pathways is essential because soil contamination by microplastics threatens agricultural productivity and creates another route for plastics to enter the human food supply.
