Importance of the water-sediment bed interactions in simulating microplastic particles in an estuarine system

Retention of plastics in estuaries and storage in sediments likely contributes to the mass imbalance between the amount of ocean plastic debris and input from land. A sediment transport model, coupled with a hydrodynamic and wave model, was employed to analyze how microplastics of varying settling v...
