Micro-Nanoplastics from Stormwater Runoffs to Water Bodies: An In-Depth Investigation

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers investigated how stormwater runoff collects micro- and nanoplastics from urban surfaces — roads, rooftops, and construction sites — and delivers them in concentrated pulses to rivers, lakes, and coastal waters following rain events. Stormwater represents one of the largest and most direct conduits for terrestrial microplastic pollution to reach aquatic ecosystems and, ultimately, drinking water sources and seafood.

Assessment of Microplastics from Surface Water Bodies: Challenges and Future Scopes

AI summary Read the abstract

"This review assessed various analytical techniques for detecting microplastics in Indian surface water bodies—including visual sorting, spectroscopy, and microscopy—finding that no single method is fully adequate and that standardized protocols are urgently needed. Reliable detection methods are a prerequisite for accurate exposure assessments, since underestimating microplastic concentrations in rivers and lakes directly leads to underestimating human health risks from drinking water and freshwater fish consumption."
