Abstract Contaminationwithplasticdebrishasbeen recognizedasoneof today’s
majorenvironmentalqualityproblems.Becausemostof thesourcesare landbased,
concerns are increasingly focused on the freshwater and terrestrial environment.
Fate and transport models for plastic debris can complement information from
measurements andwill play an important role in the prospective risk assessment
of plastic debris. We review the present knowledge with respect to fate and
transportmodeling of plastic debris in freshwater catchment areas, focusing espe-
cially on nano- and microplastics. Starting with a brief overview of theory and
models for nonplastic particles, we discuss plastic-specific properties, processes,
and existing mass-balance-, multimedia-, and spatiotemporally explicit fate
models.Wefind that generallymany theoretical and conceptual approaches from
