Abstract:

Macroplastic pollution in mountain rivers can threaten water resources, biodiversity, and the recreational values provided by them. The first step towards evaluating and then mitigating these risks is the systematic collection of reliable and spatially uniform data on the amount and type of macroplastics deposited in different land covers occurring in a mountain river channel. To maximise the opportunity for the large-scale collection of such data using the citizen science approach, we propose in this study an illustrated step-by-step guide to sample the macroplastic deposited along mountain r

Abstract:

Lakes are the greatest reserve of available superficial inland fresh water and concurrently one of the most threatened ecosystems. Among the many pollutants, plastics contaminate lakes worldwide; notwithstanding that, little is known on the impacts of macroplastics. The aim of this work is to provide the first global overview of scientific articles researching macroplastic pollution in lakes. Articles were selected from Web of Science and Scopus databases.

Litter was collected from 12 roadside ditches in the Finger lakes Region of New York State over two sampling periods: pre-COVID-19 pandemic and during COVID-19 pandemic. Litter pieces were washed in DI water, oven dried, massed and plastic-type visually determined. Macroplastic data was analysed to assess the impact of land use, traffic, and COVID-19 variables on macroplastic accumulation on a piece, mass, and plastic-type basis. These data are all litter pieces collected, including both plastics categorized as 1 through 7 in the RIC resin classification codes as well as non-plastic litter. Th

Abstract:

Plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly serious threat to the natural environment. Macroplastics, primarily polyethylene films, pose significant ecological and economic risks, particularly in the agricultural sector. Effective monitoring of their presence is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Conventional techniques for identifying environmental contaminants, based on field studies, are often time-consuming and limited in scope. In response to these challenges, a study was conducted with the primary aim of utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), multispect

Plastic pollution in the ocean is an emerging environmental concern in the Philippines. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of macroplastics, composition of plastic litter, and the clean-coast index (CCI) of urban and rural beaches in Sarangani Bay. Plastic litter was collected by delineating a 100-m transecting line with three 4 m × 4 m quadrats. The density of macroplastic litter in urban areas (0.66 items m−2) was significantly higher than in rural areas (0.29 items m−2).

The samples were collected in April of 2018. Two quadrats were used for the sampling. On two beaches in northern Ambon Island, the average amount of marine plastic debris was 0.492 item.m−2 for macroplastic (>25 mm), 10.8 item.m−2 for mesoplastic (5-25 mm), and 29.8 item

Abstract Macroplastic waste has been spotted around the shoreline and the waters of Lake Singarak, West Sumatra. Macroplastic waste has been the main source of microplastic pollution in the marine and freshwater environment. This study aimed to determine the types and abundance of macroplastic waste in the riparian area of Lake Singkarak. Macropalstic waste collection was carried out using a 0.25 m2 square transect with a radius of 10 m at six sampling locations around the lake. The collected macroplastic waste was then sorted by its type and calculated to determine the abundance of each type.

Abstract:

Soils contain an increasing number of different pollutants, which are often released into the environment by human activity. Among the “new” potential pollutants are plastics and microplastics. “Recognized” pollutants such as heavy metals, of geogenic and anthropogenic origin, now meet purely anthropogenic contaminants such as plastic particles. Those can meet especially in floodplain landscapes and floodplain soils, because of their function as a temporary sink for sediments, nutrients, and pollutants.

Plastic pollution in the world is widespread and growing. The environment is swamped with nanoplastics (<100 nm), and the health consequences of these less visible pollutants are unknown. Furthermore, there is evidence that microplastics can release nanoplastics by digestive disintegration, implying that macroplastic exposure can cause direct and indirect disease via nanoplastics. The existence and impact of nanoplastics in numerous tissues from invertebrates to larger vertebrates that consume significant amounts of plastics were investigated, and histopathological techniques were utilized

Recently, the increase in environmental pollution has been studied by researchers, especially the increase in abnormalities and blood level in aquatic organisms. In this regard, one of the reasons is the presence of plastic causes that are often found in water. The existence of plastic waste in the water is divided into 3 categories, namely macroplastic (>25 mm), mesoplastic (5-25 mm), and microplastic (<5 mm). Microplastics occur from the degradation of macroplastics and mesoplastics in waters. Microplastics in lakes, rivers, and estuaries cause a stress response in the bodies of aquati

However, these claims often lack empirical field data, limiting our understanding of plastic transport dynamics in heavily urbanized waterways. This study addresses this gap by investigating the volume, composition, and transport of plastic debris in the downstream segments of the Cagayan de Oro River, a vital waterway influenced by a dense population and challenges in waste management. Over a ten-day period, macroplastic flux, polymer composition, and flow velocity were monitored at

Abstract:

As global plastic production increases, the problem of marine plastic pollution is becoming increasingly critical, and the development of effective identification technologies is particularly urgent as plastic debris not only poses a threat to aquatic ecosystems but also has a significant impact on human health. This paper presents the criteria for evaluating fluorescence technology and its mechanism for plastic identification, with an emphasis on its potential for the rapid detection of marine plastic pollution. By analyzing variations in the fluorescence lifetimes and intensities of plastics

Abstract. Plastic pollution has become one of the main global environmental emergencies. A considerable part of used plastics materials is dispersed or accumulated in the environment with a significant damaging impact on many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.Artificial Intelligence has proven a fundamental approach in last years for the detection of plastics waste in the aquatic habitats: several groups have recently tried to tackle such problem by developing some machine learning-based methods and multispectral or RGB imagery.

Abstract:

With macroscopic litter and its degradation into secondary microplastic as a major source of environmental pollution, one key challenge is understanding the pathways from macro- to microplastic by abiotic and biotic environmental impact. So far, little is known about the impact of biota on material properties. This study focuses on recycled, bottle-grade poly(ethylene terephthalate) (r-PET) and the degrading enzyme PETase from Ideonella sakaiensis. Compact tension (CT) specimens were incubated in an enzymatic solution and thermally and mechanically characterized. A time-dependent study up to 9

Abstract:

Plastic debris presents a serious hazard to marine ecosystems worldwide. In this study, we developed a method to evaluate high-resolution maps of plastic emissions from the land into the sea offshore of Japan without using mismanaged plastic waste. Plastics were divided into microplastics (MicPs) and macroplastics (MacPs), and correlations between the observed MicP concentrations in rivers and basin characteristics, such as the urban area ratio and population density, were used to evaluate nationwide MicP concentration maps. A simple water balance analysis was used to calculate the annual outf

Abstract:

Abstract Background Plastic greenhouse farming has become widespread worldwide because of its contributions to various agricultural production. However, it also generates plastic waste in large quantities and pollutes farmlands. Contrary to studies on microplastics, few studies have quantified macroplastic contamination in agricultural farmlands despite its contribution to the production of microplastics through fragmentation. Thus, there is a paucity of knowledge on the levels and characteristics of macroplastics in greenhouse environments. Thus, this study aimed to quantify and examine the m
