Occurrence and Effects of Microplastics in Lake Ecosystems: Particular Focus on Migration in Water and Food Chains
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes findings on microplastic occurrence, sources, and ecological effects in lake ecosystems worldwide, with a focus on how microplastics migrate through water columns and accumulate across aquatic food chains. Lakes are critical freshwater resources for drinking water and fisheries, making the documented bioaccumulation and toxicity of microplastics in lake food webs a direct public health concern.
Microplastic contamination in freshwater: first observation in Lake Ulansuhai, Yellow River Basin, China
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers detected microplastics in Lake Ulansuhai in northern China at concentrations up to 10,120 particles per cubic meter, with higher levels near drainage canals and metallic elements like iron, calcium, and zinc adsorbed onto particle surfaces. The presence of metal-laden microplastics in this freshwater lake raises compound pollution concerns for downstream ecosystems and communities relying on the Yellow River basin.
Micro and Nanoplastics: Effect on Lentic Ecosystem
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics affect still-water ecosystems like lakes and ponds, where plastics can accumulate over time and disrupt aquatic organisms at the base of the food chain. These effects may ultimately impact water quality and the fish and wildlife that humans rely on.
Microplastics in Freshwater Environments: Sources, Behaviour, and Ecotoxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed sources, transport behavior, and ecotoxicological impacts of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that rivers and lakes are both pathways and sinks for plastic particles and that biological effects on freshwater organisms remain poorly characterized compared to marine systems.
