Status and characteristics of microplastic pollution in Chinese freshwater environment
Summary
This review summarizes research on microplastic distribution, toxic effects on organisms, and interactions with other pollutants in Chinese freshwater environments. The paper calls for strengthened regulation and monitoring of microplastics in China's lakes, rivers, and water supplies.
The system sorts out the distribution characteristics of microplastics, the toxic effect of biology, and the interaction with other pollutants. Micro -plastic is still a very difficult to control pollutant. Micro -plastic has a threat to the environment. At present, the control of micro -plastic pollution is very small, and it is urgent to strengthen supervision in this area.

This review assessed microplastic pollution in China's freshwater environments including rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, finding widespread contamination in surface waters, sediments, and biota with variations linked to population density and industrial activity.
Current practices and future perspectives of microplastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems in China
This review summarizes current knowledge and future research priorities for microplastic pollution in China's freshwater ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, and wetlands, identifying both urban and agricultural sources as major contributors. The authors call for nationally coordinated monitoring, standardized methods, and stronger regulatory frameworks to address the growing microplastic burden in Chinese freshwater systems.
Occurrences and distribution of microplastic pollution and the control measures in China
This review summarizes reported microplastic contamination levels in China's marine, freshwater, and atmospheric environments, finding that concentrations are highest in urbanized freshwater systems and identifying human population density and agricultural plastic use as key drivers.
The contamination of microplastics in China's aquatic environment: Occurrence, detection and implications for ecological risk
This review summarized microplastic contamination across marine environments, freshwater systems, and wastewater treatment plants in China, one of the world's top plastic-producing countries. The study highlights that research on how microplastics transfer between connected water environments remains lacking, and the microscale toxicity of microplastics is still poorly understood.
