River Discharge as a Source of Microplastic Pollution in the Peter the Great Gulf (Northwest Pacific Russia)
AI summary Read the abstract
This presentation summarized a field study on microplastic contamination in the Peter the Great Gulf in the Northwest Pacific off Russia, documenting the distribution of plastic particles transported by river discharge. River inputs are among the primary pathways through which microplastics from land-based sources reach coastal marine environments.
This presentation summarizes the survey methods and findings of a field study on microplastic contamination conducted in the Peter the Great Gulf.

Microplastics in Surface Waters of the Russian Arctic Seas: Distribution, Concentration, Identification, and Eco-Risks for Fish
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics were detected across surface waters of the Russian Arctic seas, with concentrations and polymer types varying by region and season. The findings document that even high-latitude Arctic waters are not spared from microplastic contamination, likely transported by ocean currents and rivers.
Variability of plastic input from the Northern Dvina River
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers monitored floating plastics at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River in Russia over three open-water seasons, finding that polyethylene was the dominant plastic type and that concentrations varied seasonally and between years. Rivers like the Northern Dvina act as conveyor belts delivering microplastics from industrial and urban inland areas to the Arctic seas.
