3. 12. Microplastics in Scanian wetlands : Sege river & Kävlinge river

   Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)

   Författare :Ludvig Stoltz; Pernilla Leijon; [2023]
   Nyckelord :plastic pollution; wetlands; microplastics; Scania; density separation; plastföroreningar; våtmarker; mikroplaster; Skåne; flotteringsmetod;

   Sammanfattning : It is estimated that 75 million tons of plastics waste is currently in the ocean and expects to increase in line with plastic consumption. Plastic items in natural or aquatic environments are fragmented into smaller pieces called microplastics. Microplastics can enter rivers and lakes through sewage water to end up in wetlands where they sediment. LÄS MER
