Summary

This study analyzed how environmental parameters such as temperature, UV radiation, and flow dynamics influence microplastic behavior and transport in continental surface waters and their pathways to oceans. Understanding how environmental conditions govern microplastic fate is essential for accurately modeling human and ecological exposure across river and coastal systems.

Microplastics found in continental surface waters have various sources, from cosmetics to agriculture. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the quantity of microplastics that reach the oceans each year, mainly transported by rivers but also by air. Therefore...
