Screening of Мicroplastic Сontent in Surface Waters of Russian Rivers
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2022-9-67-71
Abstract
Quantitative screening results of microplastics content in waters of some Russian rivers of different watersheds (Tobol, Tom, Tura, Irtysh, Ishim, Vyatka, Kama, Chusovaya and Pechora) are presented. The identified secondary forms of microplastics prove the contribution of plastic waste to river pollution. To better assess the intensity of pollution, the nature and sources of microplastics carried by Russian rivers, spatiotemporal studies are recommended.
