This e-lecture gives an overview of the main factors that determine the input of microplastics on terrestrial soils, its distribution on land, and transport via rivers to the oceans. Emissions from the municipal sewer system are highlighted as a major pathway to rivers. Various methods to address knowledge gaps of microplastic retention in rivers and transitional waters will be presented.
