Micro-plastic Pollution: A Comparative Survey of Wastewater Effluent in New York
AI summary Read the abstract
Students from two State University of New York campuses surveyed microplastic concentrations in wastewater treatment plant effluents in New York State, testing the hypothesis that WWTPs are a significant pathway for plastic particles entering waterways. The collaborative study provides regional data on how treatment plant discharges contribute to microplastic pollution.
