The influence of flow on the amount, retention, and loss of plastic pollution in urban rivers: A field and mesocosm approach
Jacob Haney + Bailey Schwenk + Brenda Li ...
Urban rivers are hypothesized to be major transporters of plastic pollution into lakes and oceans, with storm events playing a pivotal role in this process. However, few studies...

Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for river plastic pollution
Rose Pinto + Kwame Duah + Martine J van der Ploeg ...
Hydrometeorological processes (wind, precipitation, and discharge) are often assumed to be key drivers of plastic transport variability. However, the predominant focus on...
