Summary

Researchers measured macro and microplastic concentrations in stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows in Paris, finding that these urban drainage systems are a significant and underestimated pathway for plastic pollution to enter rivers and ultimately the ocean.

Stormwater and combined sewer overflows (CSO) might represent an important source of macro and microplastics in the environment, but such fluxes are poorly investigated. In order to fill this knowledge gap, macro and microplastic concentrations were investigated (i)...
