Plastic ingestion in aquatic insects: Implications of waterbirds and landfills and association with stable isotopes

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: N isotopes in adult corixids. Our findings showed that MP pollution is present in all the study areas, including strictly protected wetlands. The use of aquatic insects for biomonitoring of MP pollution can help identify priority areas for management actions to mitigate plastic pollution.
