Microplastic Pollution in Pavement Sediments of Beijing: Abundance, Characteristics, and Ecological Risk

Toxics 2026

Summary

Researchers surveyed microplastic pollution in pavement sediments across Beijing and identified 28 sampling sites with distinct spatial risk patterns — five low-risk, eight medium-risk, and fifteen high-risk — providing the first quantitative ecological risk map of road-surface microplastic contamination in the city.

) method showed clearer differentiation of spatial risk patterns in the Beijing study area, with 5 low-risk sites, 8 medium-risk sites and 15 high-risk sites among the sampling sites.
