Solutions for the Black Sea
Model characteristics
- Model name: MARINA-Plastics
- Version: Europe-1.0
- Application: The drainage area of the Black Sea
- Scales: sub-basins and annual
- Period: 2010-2100
- Pollutants: microplastics (<5mm)
- Sources: point (sewage containing plastics from laundry, car tyres, household dust and personal care products and open defecation via laundry and the use of personal care products)
- Main inputs: population connected to sewage systems, removal efficiencies, consumption/production rates for personal care products, car tyres, dust and laundry, hydrology
- Main outputs: river export of microplastics by source and sub-basin
