Microplastic Accumulation Along an Urbanized and Elevational Gradient in Thetennessee River Watershed

Summary
Researchers examined how microplastic concentrations vary along an urbanization gradient and across elevations in the Tennessee River watershed, tracing how land use and topography shape plastic transport through river systems. The findings demonstrate that even remote or elevated areas are not insulated from microplastic deposition, challenging the assumption that distance from urban centers provides protection.
