Extensive abundances and characteristics of microplastic pollution in the karst hyporheic zones of urban rivers

Shihao Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in river sediments in 10 cities in karst regions of Southwest China. The results show that microplastic abundance is high in karst water systems, with higher levels in downstream areas compared to midstream and upstream. Microplastic abundance is lower in cities compared to counties. There is no significant correlation between microplastic abundance in urban rivers and regional population and economy, but a significant negative correlation with the efficiency of urban sewage treatment. The findings provide insights into microplastic pollution management in urban rivers of karst regions.

Influence of Particle Shape on Tortuosity of Non-Spherical Particle Packed Beds

Simson Julian Rodrigues et al.

Summary: Tortuosity, an important factor in packed beds or porous media, affects mass transport, thermal and electric conductivity. Current tortuosity models lack consideration for various particle shapes. This study proposes a new model that predicts tortuosity based on sphericity and porosity, demonstrating significant effects on thermal conductivity in different particle shapes. The new model shows superior performance in the porosity range of 0.3 to 0.4, making it an upgrade to the classical Zehner-Bauer-Schlunder (ZBS) model.

Mechanisms of microplastics trapping in river sediments: Insights from the Arno river (Tuscany, Italy)

Massimiliano Ghinassi et al.

Summary: Rivers efficiently transport microplastics to the sea, but they can be temporarily stored and fragmented in sediment. This study analyzes deposits in the Arno River to understand the mechanisms of microplastic sedimentation. The concentration of microplastics ranges from 0.44 to 5.68 items per gram, similar to highly-polluted rivers worldwide. Fibers, mainly nylon, are prevalent. Microplastics can be trapped by floating plant debris, as well as in gravel and sand deposits. Further studies using fluvial sedimentology principles are needed to understand transport and storage of microplastics in river sediments.

Settling velocity of microplastic particles having regular and irregular shapes

Koray Deniz Goral et al.

Summary: This study experimentally measured the settling velocities of 66 groups of microplastic particles, including 58 regular and 8 irregular shapes. The study developed novel parameterizations and predictive drag coefficient formulations for both regular and irregular particle shapes, considering preferential settling orientation. The results showed higher accuracy compared to previous predictive formulations. The method for predicting the settling velocity of irregularly-shaped microplastic particles was demonstrated to be applicable to natural sediments in the Appendix.

Prevailing impacts of river management on microplastic transport in contrasting US streams: Rethinking global microplastic flux estimations

Anna Kukkola et al.

Summary: This study compares microplastic abundance in Boulder Creek (BC) and its less urbanized tributary South Boulder Creek (SBC) in Colorado, USA. The results show that microplastic concentrations and loads are higher in BC than in SBC, which is consistent with the differences in urbanization between the two catchments. The study also quantifies the removal of microplastics through flow diversions, which should be considered in large-scale models of plastic fate and transport to the oceans.

Microplastics in the Florence wastewater treatment plant studied by a continuous sampling method and Raman spectroscopy: A preliminary investigation

Maurizio Becucci et al.

Summary: The presence of plastic in Italian river system is increasing, and it is important to understand their different sources. This study focuses on the contribution of wastewater treatment plants to microplastics released into the river system and develops methods for their detection. The study found that the main wastewater treatment plant in Florence releases about 35 kg of microplastics per day into the River Arno.

Summary: This article critically analyzes the presence of microplastics (MPs) in groundwater from a hydrogeological perspective. It discusses the sources and impacts of MPs in groundwater systems, proposes a new framework for studying MPs in groundwater, and highlights the importance of detecting smaller MP fragments to understand their fate in aquifers.

Microplastic trapping in dam reservoirs driven by complex hydrosedimentary processes (Villerest Reservoir, Loire River, France)

N. N. Phuong et al.

Summary: This study investigates the distribution of microplastic pollution in sediments of the Villerest reservoir. The results show that the section with fine-grained sediments has significantly higher levels of microplastics compared to the section with coarse-grained sediments. The study also finds that the polymer diversity is higher in fine-grained sediments. This research contributes to a better understanding of the role of hydrosedimentary processes in microplastic distribution and provides valuable insights for sediment management operations.

Rivers as Plastic Reservoirs

Tim van Emmerik et al.

Summary: Rivers serve as important reservoirs for plastic pollution, with only a small fraction of plastics being emitted into the ocean. Under extreme hydrological conditions, the accumulated plastics in different river compartments are emptied, influencing their fate.

Environmental source, fate, and toxicity of microplastics

Chunhui Wang et al.

Summary: Microplastics, small plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, have attracted increasing global attention due to their widespread distribution in various environmental compartments. Studies show that the sources of microplastics are diverse, and their presence and impacts in the environment are influenced by multiple factors. Research gaps exist in quantitatively analyzing different exposure routes of microplastics and their toxicity to organisms. Further efforts are needed to focus on the occurrence and fate of microplastics in terrestrial environments, especially in the atmosphere and soil, as well as investigating the toxicity mechanisms of microplastics.

On the prediction of settling velocity for plastic particles of different shapes

Simona Francalanci et al.

Summary: The transport processes of plastic particles in freshwater and marine environments are important for predicting the fate of plastic in the environment. By studying the effect of different shapes on settling velocity, a new method was developed to predict the settling velocity of plastic and natural particles across a range of flow regimes. Calibration and validation with experimental data support the application of this method in various hydraulic conditions.

Summary: Common methods and tools for sampling microplastics in freshwater ecosystems include using Manta trawls for surface water and shovel, trowel, spade, scoop, and spatula for sediments, with Van Veen grab commonly used for deep sediment sampling. There is a need to develop optimal methods to reduce identification time and effort, and to detect smaller-sized plastic particles.

More than 1000 rivers account for 80% of global riverine plastic emissions into the ocean

Lourens J. J. Meijer et al.

Summary: Research shows that plastic waste in the marine environment mainly comes from rivers, with a model approach predicting the probability of plastic waste entering the ocean and identifying regions likely to emit plastic into the ocean. It is estimated that over 1000 rivers globally contribute to 80% of plastic waste emissions, with small urban rivers being the most polluting.
