“…Their releases are primarily caused by littering and linked to sweeping efficiencies with high fractions reaching the marine environment. Collected citizen science data through beach-clean ups showed that consumer and food packaging are among the most found items along the Norwegian coasts. , A high prevalence of PE followed by PP and PS has been detected in macroplastic samples from Norwegian coastal soils, indicating agreement with our results for beach macroplastics. Our results indicate the dominance of tire wear rubber in the released microplastic amounts, and similar trends have been documented in previous studies. ,,, This is mainly driven by the combination of high in-use tire stocks and higher leaching rates (2.5–7.5%) compared to other product categories.…”

“…When it comes to soils, there is evidence of plastic concentration in soils supporting this claim (Zhang et al, 2020;Bastesen et al, 2021;Cyvin et al, 2021) suggesting that soil properties such as porosity, oxygen levels and pH might be changed by the presence of plastics and that, among others, plants (Wang et al, 2022), invertebrates (Ji et al, 2021) and microbial communities (Huang et al, 2021) might be affected. In general, the terrestrial ecosystems are poorly investigated with regards to the concentrations and effects of plastic pollution (Rilling et al, 2021).…”

“…The issue of plastic waste management, recycling, and pollution have been previously investigated in different ecosystems (Faure et al, 2015;Horton, 2022;Isangedighi et al, 2020;Ita-Nagy et al, 2021;Lahens et al, 2018;Strand et al, 2021). Many reports focused on the impact of plastic waste on the marine and extra-marine animals of aquatic ecosystems (Cyvin, et al, 2021;Galloway, 2015;Gasperi et al, 2018;Reddy, 2018;Thompson et al, 2004;Van Cauwenberghe et al, 2013;Wilcox et al, 2015). In Saudi Arabia, a few studies investigated plastic contamination in the marine environment, mixed surface, and treated wastewater (Hassan et al, 2022;Picó et al, 2021) but little information is available on the quantity and types of plastic waste on populated beach areas in Saudi Arabia.…”
