Summary
Researchers investigated how microplastics deposited in riverbeds affect the hydraulic conductivity of sediments, finding that plastic accumulation can alter how water flows through riverbed systems in ways that may disrupt aquatic habitat and groundwater recharge.
Study Type
Environmental
Microplastics (MPs) are anthropogenetic pollutants, with particle sizes between 5 mm and 1 μm. These particles enter riverine ecosystem through sources like discharge from wastewater treatment plants, surface runoff from landfills and plastic recycling plants....
