Journal of Environmental Sciences Review explores micro(nano)plastic distribution and transport in hyporheic zones and groundwater
Editorial Office of Journal of Environmental SciencesMicro(nano)plastics (MNPs) pose a global concern as an emerging environmental pollutant. However, their transport properties currently lack complete theoretical interpretation. In a recent review, researchers from China now provide a comprehensive summary of the present pollution status of MNPs in hyporheic zones and groundwater systems, explaining their transport process and proposing future research directions on MNPs.
