“…In contrast to vast scientific studies describing the contamination of the marine environment with plastic and microplastic waste [3,4], MPs' presence in freshwaters has only recently received attention. Rivers and lakes were mainly investigated with an increasing amount of publications released in the last few years [5][6][7][8][9], although other freshwater bodies (e.g., canals, volcanic lakes, deltaic lakes) are still under initial examination.…”

“…Samples were are usually preserved with 5% methyl aldehyde and stored at 4 °C before analysis (Zhang et al 2015 ) or fixed in 2.5% formalin (Zhao et al 2014 ) or submerged in ~ 40% ethanol (EtOH) (Mani and Burkhardt-Holm 2020 ).…”

“…Die Kontamination mit Mikroplastik war in sämtlichen untersuchten Sedimenten aus Flussbetten in einer britischen Studie allgegenwärtig (Hurley et al 2018). Die Konzentrationen von Mikroplastik in Flüssen korrelieren mit dem Durchflussvolumen und der Größe des Einzugsgebietes (Mani & Burkhardt-Holm 2020;Siegfried et al 2017). Das von den Flusssystemen exportierte Mikroplastik lässt sich im einfachsten Fall mit der Dichte der Bevölkerung und deren anteilsmäßigem Anschluss an Kläranlagen, dem Pro-Kopf-Eintrag an Mikroplastik und der Kläranlagen-Effizienz modellieren.…”

Weiters spielen für die exportierte Menge an Mikroplastik Überflutungen eine Rolle (Mani & Burkhardt-Holm 2020;Siegfried et al 2017).…”
