Characterization of microplastics in storm water in Örebro, Sweden

2020
Isabelle Karlsson Sjögren

Summary

Researchers characterized microplastics in stormwater samples from Orebro, Sweden, measuring particle abundance, size distribution, morphology, and polymer types across multiple storm events. They found fibers and fragments dominated, with tire rubber particles also present, and observed variation in concentration with rainfall intensity and land use type. The study contributes data on stormwater as a microplastic transport pathway in a Swedish urban context.

Microplastic is a widespread pollutant in marine and fresh water systems. A major pathway by which microplastics end up in these systems is via storm water. Storm water is generated as precipitatio ...
