Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides a consolidated summary of the research study outcomes on the investigation of the environmental risks in relation to MPs occurrence and migration in urban waterways. The knowledge created is expected to provide practical guidance and recommendations for the formulation of effective management and mitigation strategies for MPs in urban aquatic environments. This chapter also identifies key areas where significant knowledge gaps exist in relation to MPs source tracking, interaction mechanisms (release and sorption capacity) with metals and organic contaminants, as well as the environmental consequences to urban waterways from a risk perspective.KeywordsMPs pollutantsDistribution patternsAssociated contaminantsEnvironmental risksUrban waterways
