Summary

Researchers surveyed stormwater drainage channels (nalas) in Jabalpur, India and detected microplastics in all sampled sites, finding fragments, fibers, and microbeads from domestic wastewater, urban runoff, and industrial discharges. The study reviews sampling and analytical methods for microplastic characterization in urban waterways.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics were detected in all sampled Nalas, with varying concentrations and polymer types.The predominant sources of microplastic pollution were identified as domestic wastewater, urban runoff, and industrial discharges.Characterization of microplastics revealed a diverse range of shapes, sizes, and polymer compositions, including fragments, fibers, and microbeads.The pre-treatment of the sample was carried out with a solution of ZnCl2 for separation by density and H2O2 for oxidation of the organic material.
