Microplastics in Russian Freshwater Systems: a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes published research on microplastic contamination in Russian freshwater systems, cataloguing particle abundance, polymer types, and spatial distribution patterns across rivers and lakes despite the relatively limited number of Russian studies compared to global literature.
Microplastic Concentrations in Some Rivers and Reservoirs in Southern Russia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed microplastic concentrations in major rivers and reservoirs of southern Russia — including the Lower Don, Lower Volga, Seversky Donets, and Tsimlyansk Reservoir — using multiple sampling methods across several years. Concentrations ranged from 12.3 to 94.32 particles/m3 in more recent surveys, with the highest accumulation observed in anthropogenically impacted areas, tributaries, and near hydraulic structures, and transparent polyethylene and PET fibers being the most common particle type.
Microplastics in Surface Waters of the Russian Arctic Seas: Distribution, Concentration, Identification, and Eco-Risks for Fish
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics were detected across surface waters of the Russian Arctic seas, with concentrations and polymer types varying by region and season. The findings document that even high-latitude Arctic waters are not spared from microplastic contamination, likely transported by ocean currents and rivers.
