Research interests
- Source, distribution and behaviour of plastic pollutants in aquatic environments
- Impacts of plastic pollutants on water quality and sediment quality
- Movement of plastics in river sediments
- Water environment management
Current project
Microplastic pollutants cause adverse effects to both aquatic environments and organisms. Detailed studies relating to sources, distribution patterns, potential influencing factors of microplastics in river sediment, and their impacts on river sediment quality are currently being conducted. Additionally, a hydrodynamic model is used to simulate the deposition and transportation mechanics of different microplastics in river sediments.
