Looking for study on the pollution of the forest

So far, I thought there won't be any studies on the overall scenario of waste disposals. After searching in depth, I have found studies on illegal waste dumping sites in Polish forests. Hope these will be helpful.

Jakiel et al. (2018) assessed the spatiotemporal distribution of wastes in the Ojcow National Park. Number of dumping sites and volume of different types of wastes were determined through field observation. They categorized the dumping sites into very small, small, medium and large sized. It is a very comprehensive study.

Another study by Zablocki et al. (2011) identified forests and natural depressions as the most common places for illegal waste dumping. The paper also shows quantitative measurements of waste volumes. Kolanowski and wisiniewki (2012) found total volume of 50 m³ garbage in the forest area of Ostrów Mazowiecka community.
