Summary

Microplastic concentrations in freshwater were measured during a flood event to understand how storm-driven flow affects microplastic transport in rivers. The study found that flooding significantly altered microplastic abundances and distribution, with flood pulses mobilizing plastics stored in riverbed sediments and floodplains.
