Spatial–Temporal Distribution and Ecological Risk Assessment of Microplastics in the Shiwuli River

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of microplastics (MPs) within the Shiwuli River in Hefei, a Chinese inland city. Water and sediment samples were collected during flood season (from May to September) and non-flood season (from October to April) at 10 representative points along the truck stream. The electron microscope, the laser direct infrared chemical imaging system (LDIR), and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to observe and quantify the colour and shape of the MPs, to identi… Show more

“…Particles of plastic smaller than five millimeters in size are known as Microplastics(MPs) . Currently, MPs are readily accessible everywhere in the globe, affecting various environments such as rivers, lakes and farmland [1]. The environment's buildup of MPs has negatively impacted water, soil bodies and living things [2].…”
