Impacts of Plastic Pollution on Ecosystem Services, Sustainable Development Goals, and Need to Focus on Circular Economy and Policy Interventions (2021, background): “Large-sized MPs and NPs particles, having high density, can easily be deposited in the aquatic environment as compared to low-density plastic particles [97].”
Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities. (2017, background): “Transport of plastic particles 528 within river systems will be largely affected by the same factors affecting sediment transport, such as 529 hydrological characteristics and environmental conditions (Nizzetto et al., 2016a) .”
Effect of microplastics in water and aquatic systems (2021, background): “the life of aquatics (Nizzetto et al. 2016) (shown in Fig.”
Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives (2021, background): “Waste sludge may accumulate up to 98% of MPs from the treated water (Gies et al., 2018; Nizzetto et al., 2016), which can account for up to 3% of biowaste by weight (Mohajerani & Karabatak, 2020), and is often modified for use as fertilizer if it is not incinerated or disposed at landfill (Edo et…”
