Summary
This paper reviewed the occurrence, behavior, and ecological effects of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, with emphasis on rivers and lakes in Europe. The review highlighted that freshwater systems act as both reservoirs and transport vectors for microplastics, and identified key gaps in understanding bioavailability and toxicological thresholds for aquatic organisms.
