Status and characteristics of microplastic pollution in Chinese freshwater environment

Applied and Computational Engineering 2023 1 citation

AI summary Read the abstract

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.

Study Type Environmental

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.
