Summary

Microplastic pollution is widespread in the Yangtze River basin and Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, with sediment concentrations reflecting upstream urban and industrial inputs. Rivers and lakes serve as critical transport corridors for microplastics moving from land to ocean, making freshwater monitoring essential for understanding total plastic flux.

Study Type Environmental

In recent years, microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly becoming a new environmental problem of global concern. Rivers and lakes are important transport channels for MPs entering the ocean, and their contribution to MP pollution can’t be ignored. In this...
