Legal Protection of Surface Water Bodies from Microplastics in Russia
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper looks at how Russian law handles microplastic pollution in rivers and lakes, and finds that current legal protections are lacking or unclear. That matters because microplastics can end up in drinking water and the food we eat, and without strong laws, it is harder to keep this pollution out of the water we depend on.

Microplastics Pollution in Water is a Threat for Human Health and the Environment (literature Review)
AI summary Read the abstract
This Russian literature review synthesizes evidence that microplastics are widespread in water bodies and drinking water, threatening human health through physical irritation, toxic chemical leaching, and microbial attachment. It notes that microplastics have been documented in aquatic organisms — including fish in Russian rivers — and that contaminated seafood is a key pathway for human exposure. The paper identifies critical gaps: there are no standardized sampling methods or regulatory limits for microplastics in drinking water in Russia.
Legal Protection of the Marine Environment from Plastic Pollution in the Russian Federation
AI summary Read the abstract
This legal analysis reviews Russian Federation regulations governing marine plastic pollution and identifies gaps in the existing framework. The study found that plastic is among the most prevalent marine pollutants, detected in 10 of Russia's 12 seas, yet domestic environmental law remains insufficient. The authors recommend tightening administrative penalties and strengthening strategic planning documents to better address plastic pollution at the national level.
Legal protection of Lake Baikal from microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examines the legal frameworks needed to protect Lake Baikal from increasing microplastic pollution, analyzing existing Russian environmental law alongside international and comparative foreign legislation. The authors recommend a set of interrelated general and region-specific legal measures targeting both primary and secondary microplastic sources within the Baikal natural territory.
Micro- and Nanoplastics pollution in the aquatic environments in Russia and detection problems
AI summary Read the abstract
This Russian review examines micro- and nanoplastic pollution in aquatic environments in Russia and discusses the challenges of detecting these particles accurately. The authors highlight gaps in monitoring coverage and call for standardized detection methods to better understand the extent of plastic contamination in Russian freshwater and marine systems.
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.
