Summary
This study examined the ability of bioretention cells (engineered stormwater filtration systems) to remove microplastics of increasingly small sizes from runoff. The findings suggest these green infrastructure systems can capture microplastics across size ranges, contributing to their removal before stormwater enters natural water bodies.
