Mapping microplastic pathways and accumulation zones in the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea – insights from modeling

A hydrodynamic model coupled with a particle tracking model was used to identify the pathways and accumulation areas of microplastics (MP) in the Gulf of Finland (GoF) over a three-year period (2018-2020). Two key sources, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and rivers, were considered, focusing on...
