Beach and fish plastics method for tracing sources of pollution
Summary
This paper proposes a method for tracing the geographic and industrial origins of beach plastic pollution by combining plastic characterization techniques with statistical analysis of industry patent proportions. It uses pie-chart proportionality representation to infer sources of beach and fish plastics.
Abstract This paper examines beach plastics in a pie chart by proportionality using previous studies that developed characterisation techniques. These techniques include inferring industrial sources of plastic pollution. This paper combines these methods with a comparison of industry patent statistical proportion for geographical origin inference.
