Summary
Researchers used microplastic fiber length distributions in Seneca Lake sediments to attempt to distinguish between different pollution sources such as atmospheric deposition versus wastewater effluent. Developing source-attribution methods for microplastics is essential for prioritizing reduction strategies and understanding which human activities most significantly contribute to freshwater contamination.
Microplastics—synthetic polymer fragments, pellets, films, and fibers smaller t...
