Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) pollution is gaining attention globally, especially in the Bohai Rim region of northern China, which lacks detailed assessments despite human activity affecting its rivers.
- Researchers collected data from 11 estuaries, finding overall MPs pollution is low, but specific areas show potential ecological risks primarily from PVC.
- The study modeled MPs outflow from 22 rivers, revealing that Shandong province contributes over 80% of the outflow, and highlights that small and medium-sized rivers are significant contributors, stressing the need for tailored pollution control measures.
