Summary

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model coupled with a Lagrangian individual-based model was used to simulate the dispersion of microplastics from municipal wastewater discharge in Saronikos Gulf in the eastern Mediterranean. The modeling approach helps predict where microplastics released from wastewater treatment plants accumulate in coastal marine environments.

Study Type Environmental

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is coupled with a Lagrangian-Individual Based Model to simulate the floating microplastics (
