“…The BMPs in the water environment mainly come from the fragmentation and decomposition of large plastic debris. BDPs can migrate with wind or rain, enter surface water from the land, and finally enter the freshwater and marine ecosystems (Law and Thompson 2014;Xia et al (2020). After the BDPs enter the water, they will be slowly broken and decomposed under the action of ultraviolet radiation, water disturbance, wave impact, physical wear, biological habitat, and freeze-thaw cycle and gradually form BMPs (Fig.…”

“…Furthermore, freshwater ecosystems can act as both a receiver, sink, and transporter of plastic pollution (Eerkes-Medrano et al 2015;Horton and Dixon 2018;Li et al 2018;van Emmerik and Schwarz 2020). For example, direct littering, as well as mismanaged waste or inadequate waste disposal, acts as sources of plastic to the aquatic environment through wind transport, atmospheric deposition, and/or surface runoff from adjacent lands (Horton et al 2017;Xia et al 2020). Hitchcock (2020) recently showed that storm events act as key drivers of microplastic contamination in aquatic systems.…”
