COVID-19 is the official name of the disease provoked by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Since the advent of the first cases of the new coronavirus, our society has been completely changed. Due to the changes, new environmental challenges were imposed, principally due to the considerable growth in using plastic materials in packages and personal protective equipment such as face masks. The impact of plastic during the COVID-19 pandemic was discussed in the present work from the point of view of the environmental science area. Bibliometric analysis and mapping were performed based on Scopus database search results. Emphasis was placed on analyzing the authors' keywords of the publications. The main concern of the research area concerning the use of plastic during the COVID-19 pandemic is the pollution of water bodies by plastic.
COVID-19是由一种名为SARS-CoV-2的冠状病毒引发的疾病的正式名称。自新型冠状病毒首例病例出现以来，我们的社会已经彻底改变。由于这些变化，出现了新的环境挑战，主要是因为包装和口罩等个人防护装备中塑料材料的使用大幅增加。本研究从环境科学领域的角度探讨了COVID-19大流行期间塑料的影响。基于Scopus数据库的搜索结果进行了文献计量分析和绘图。重点分析了出版物的作者关键词。该研究领域关于COVID-19大流行期间塑料使用的主要关注点是塑料对水体的污染。
