Rivers of plastic: A socio-economic and topographic approach to modeling plastic transport from catchment to sea.

Marine litter caused by discharge of mismanaged plastic waste is considered to be one of the major environmental challenges by the international society. With the annual increase of plastic production, a growing number of plastic products are being used in people's daily lives. A large number of these plastics end up as waste emitted into rivers and subsequently into oceans through the effects of downpours or wind, posing a threat to the marine ecosystem.

pH dependence of the binding interactions between humic acids and bisphenol A - A thermodynamic perspective.

The wide application of bisphenol A (BPA) leads to the emergence of BPA residuals in natural water environments. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) existed in water can bind with BPA, hence influencing the migration and transformation of BPA in aquatic environments. pH is a crucial factor governing the binding interactions between DOM and BPA.
