Summary
This study traced how microplastic polymers move through and accumulate within a freshwater system, examining the fate of different plastic types across water column, sediment, and biota compartments. Tracking polymer-specific fate in freshwater helps identify which plastic types pose the greatest persistence and bioaccumulation risk to fish and the humans who consume them.
