Huge quantities of microplastics are “hidden” in the sediment of China's largest urban lake—Tangxun Lake

Microplastics (MPs) pollution in Tangxun Lake, the largest urban lake in China, was investigated. The average MPs pollution in sediment (1.81 ± 1.75 × 104 items kg−1) is at a high level, while the MPs in lakeshore water (917.77 ± 742.17 items m−3) is in the middle to low level compared with existing...

Zusammenfassung:Microplastics (MPs) pollution in Tangxun Lake, the largest urban lake in China, was investigated. The average MPs pollution in sediment (1.81 ± 1.75 × 104 items kg−1) is at a high level, while the MPs in lakeshore water (917.77 ± 742.17 items m−3) is in the middle to low level compared with existing studies, which is related to the government's protection. Fragments and fibers are the most common shapes in sediment and water, respectively. MPs size
