Microplastics in freshwater systems: occurrence and effects

In recent years, many studies have reported the widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in freshwater ecosystems. However, determining the environmental factors that play key roles in influencing the distribution of MPs and exploring the influence of multiple environmental variables on their distribution remains an important challenge in the field. Although machine learning has recently brought hope to the traceability of complex system models, field research is still incomplete, and many uncertainties remain. In particular, the significant spatiotemporal variation of MPs in freshwater ecosystems, which is influenced by basin geomorphology, MPs properties, and so on, has a significant influence on the estimation of MPs occurrence. This is particularly true for riverine MPs research, where an accurate assessment of riverine flux of land-based plastics and MPs is required to properly manage plastic pollution in the marine environment. This VSI covers all aspects of the occurrence, fate, transport, and ecotoxicological effects of (micro)plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems.

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology的CAR指数

2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的 “被踢”指数 ，这里介绍一下： CAR指数 （关于C AR的 详 细介绍，请关注： www.jcarindex.com ） ，这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数， 指数 越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看， Journal of Contaminant Hydrology 不管是2022年度，还是2023年度实时的CAR指数，都是比较低的。 当然， CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
