Fate and Behavior of Microplastics in Freshwater Systems
Summary
Researchers reviewed how microplastics move, accumulate, and interact with ecosystems in freshwater environments like rivers and lakes, which serve as both major pathways and sinks for plastic pollution. Understanding this behavior is critical because freshwater sources supply drinking water for billions of people worldwide.
The extensive utilization and mismanagement of plastic have led to the ubiquitous presence of microplastics in the environment. The freshwater system has received much attention recently due to the prevalence of high concentrations of microplastics concerning marine...
