Abstract
Anthropogenic litter in the environment is a globally pervasive contamination issue with harmful impacts on human and ecological health from exposure to both macroscale (≥5 mm) and microscale (<5 mm) litter. To assess the prevalence, distribution, and ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 509–519
Abstract
Plastics have been incorporated into everyday life due to their versatility, yet when microplastic particles enter natural fluvial systems, they pollute the surrounding environment and pose potential human health risks. As state and federal agencies ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 520–529
Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are well-proven ecologically engineered systems that remove nutrients, pathogens, and other contaminants from wastewater. The inherent role of CWs as wastewater polishing systems makes them hotspots for microplastic ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 530–540
Abstract
Land use (LU) patterns may influence the amount, distribution, and characteristics of microplastics (MPs) in the surface water; however, the association between them is unidentified. This study analyzed the abundance, shape, size, color, and polymer ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 541–551
Abstract
Microplastic pollution poses a significant threat to the ecosystem, encompassing not only aquatic organisms but also plants and human health due to their capacity for bioaccumulation, driven by their minute size and persistence. Although previous research ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 552–562
Abstract
Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, yet little is known about their transport and distribution in large rivers. This study quantified and characterized microplastics under varying flow conditions and throughout the water column of the ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 563–573
Abstract
Microplastic pollution is a growing concern worldwide, with rivers and their tributaries playing a pivotal role in transporting and distributing these particles throughout ecosystems. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of microplastic pollution ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 574–583
Abstract
This study is the first comprehensive investigation into the extent of microplastic pollution in Frenchman Bay, ME, which is a semi-sheltered coastal bay with some freshwater input making it an ideal location to study the land–sea connection of ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 2, 2024pp. 584–596
