Estimating plastic pollution levels in rivers through harmonized monitoring strategies
Summary
Researchers proposed harmonized monitoring strategies for measuring plastic pollution in rivers, addressing the need for standardized methods to accurately track plastic accumulation in freshwater systems and its eventual transport to ocean environments.
Plastic pollution in freshwater environments is an emerging threat to ecosystem health and human livelihood. Plastics that accumulate in rivers and lakes over long time periods have direct local impact, and may eventually also reach the world’s oceans. Monitoring river plastic pollution is theref...
