Summary

Researchers monitored microplastic concentrations in groundwater and a rural creek across seasons, finding that fluctuations correlated with local farming practices, demonstrating that agricultural land use is a significant and temporally variable source of microplastic contamination in both surface and subsurface water systems.

Microplastic (MP) pollution has emerged as a growing concern to human and ecolo...
