被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.01(Environmental Sciences)河川環境に広がるプラスチックは、環境汚染の主要な要因の一つである。本研究では、モンゴルのトゥール川周辺で採取した発泡ポリスチレン(PSF)プラスチックに付着した金属を調査した。金属のサイズ依存性は、PSFが都市の河川環境における汚染物質の指標となることを示した。PSFに蓄積されたAl, B, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb及びZnの平均濃度は、1967.0
169.1、116.025.7、12.76.6、35.07.6、9.86.0、6.31.3、1506.8282.8、0.40.3、10.25.0及び103.128.5
g/gであった。本研究結果により、広範囲に広がったプラスチックが環境中で有害化学物質のキャリアの1つになる可能性があることが示された。

Plastic waste can be transferred to the river by wind, flood, and unexpected artificial disposal, which gives a negative impact on the environment and human health. Rivers collect plastic wastes from their watersheds according to geographical factors. Therefore, characterization of plastic distribution and composition with respect to land-uses can be understandable for fate of plastic wastes. Plastic debris surveyed from the main (Tuul river) and tributary river shores in Ulaanbaatar (UB) city, Mongolia from the upperstream to downstream to understand behavior and control of plastic waste along the major river in the urbanized city. The composition of collected plastics along the Tuul river in the UB city was composed of 63% micro, 15% of meso, 18% of macro, and 5% of mega-sized plastics on the number basis. Foam and films were dominant in the material-based fractions. The size distribution may vary according to catchment area and types of land-uses.

Plastic waste is one of the high amounts of pollutants released from urban areas to the river. We had a field survey from urban rivers in Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar occupies 0.03% of the Mongolian territory, but 51% of the total population lives in the city. We collected plastic samples from the 9 points at the river shore of Tuul and its tributaries. Distribution of plastic density was determined in the river shore sediment and in the river flow using a plankton net. River shore plastic items ranged between 0.820.34 and 13.7210.53 item/m
. Micro, meso, macro, and mega-sized plastics with the composition of fiber, film, foam, and fragments distributed more diversely in all sampling sites in the river shore.
