Analysis of suspended microplastics in the Changjiang Estuary: Implications for riverine plastic load to the ocean

AI summary Read the abstract

Suspended microplastics were measured in the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Estuary, one of the world's largest rivers, to estimate its total plastic load delivered to the East China Sea. The study found substantial and highly variable microplastic concentrations that, when scaled to river discharge, suggest the Yangtze contributes a significant fraction of total global riverine plastic input to the ocean.
