Plastic waste release caused by COVID-19 and its fate in ...
The plastic debris could also facilitate species invasion and transport of contaminants including the COVID-19 virus (21–23). Despite the potential impacts, the total amount of pandemic-associated plastic waste and its environmental and health impacts are largely unknown. Here, we estimate the amount of excess plas-
