The 10 top-ranked rivers, eight of which are in Asia, are responsible for the 88–95% of the global plastic load into the sea, according to a new study published at American Chemical Society.
As rivers potentially act as a major transport pathway for all sizes of plastic debris, scientists analysed data along 57 rivers, and were able to calculate the main culprits of plastic in rivers flowing to the sea.
The top three pollutant rivers are Yangtze -East China Sea Asia, Indus -Arabian Sea Asia, and Yellow River -Yellow Sea Asia.
Findings revealed that targeting the main sources of pollution, such us the Yangtze and the Ganges, can potentially reduce the pollution by 50%.
