Summary
This study quantifies microplastics in urban stormwater runoff from a suburban catchment in the Paris region, providing data on particle abundance, type, and size distribution. Researchers found that stormwater is a significant pathway for microplastic transport from urban surfaces to waterways. The study supports the design of stormwater treatment systems targeting microplastic removal.
