Summary

Researchers used numerical modeling to simulate how microplastics move and accumulate within a stretch of the Fraser River, providing predictions of particle fate and transport that can inform where microplastics concentrate and how rivers function as conduits delivering plastic pollution from land to sea.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics and their impact on the environment and human health have increasingly become a global issue. Rivers are the main sources of fresh-water for human activities, and the main route for pollution delivery to seas and oceans. Predicting the behavior of...
