Therefore, the review aimed to: (1) present the occurrence and abundance of MP in some typical freshwater systems in China; (2) summarize frequently used sampling, pretreatment and characterization methods for MPs in waters and sediments; (3) elucidate ecological impacts of MPs on aquatic organisms, soil biota and human health; (4) point out knowledge gaps in current studies of MPs and make corresponding recommendations for further research. ./cache/cord-302398-gsg6akaz.txt ./txt/cord-302398-gsg6akaz.txt
