Research Status of Microplastics Pollution in Abiotic Environment in China
AI summary Read the abstract
This Chinese review summarizes microplastic pollution research in abiotic environments including ocean, freshwater, soil, and atmosphere conducted by Chinese researchers from 2014 onward. The review synthesizes findings to support ongoing monitoring and policy development in China.
Abstract With the continuous attention to the microplastics pollution in the world, since 2014, Chinese scholars have rapidly carried out a large number of microplastics pollution investigation and experimental research. This paper summarizes the research results of microplastics pollution in abiotic environment (ocean, land water, soil, atmosphere) in this stage, in order to provide support for the future research.
