Summary
This study characterized microplastic contamination in urban stormwater runoff from Brazilian cities, examining particle abundances and polymer types in drainage systems and receiving water bodies. The findings demonstrate that urban runoff is a significant microplastic transport pathway, linking terrestrial plastic pollution to aquatic ecosystems.
