Microplastics (MPs) deposited on urban roads are often flushed into water bodies via
drainage systems without treatment, and MP concentrations in the initial road runoff may be …

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, originate from the
degradation of larger plastic items or manufactured products, such as microbeads …

Estuaries are the main pathway for the microplastics (MPs) to enter into the oceans.
However, factors that drive river-sea transport of MPs are not yet fully understood. Therefore …

Rainwater runoff is the main way for microplastics (MPs) to enter water. We investigated a
rainwater treatment system (RTS) located in Zhangtiegou, Qingyang City. They include …

Our study deals with the critical issue of heavy metal pollution in urban runoff; we focused
particularly on the threat posed by heavy metals such as nickel to living organisms and …

Urban water systems are potential sources of secondary microplastics (MPs) as well as a
distributor of MPs in the environment. In the present study, the presence of MPs in the urban …

Plastic has become a vitally important material for humans; however, the large amount of
plastic waste generated annually pollutes the environment. Plastic decomposition generates …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs)(< 5 mm) are an emerging contaminant of concern, and
stormwater runoff is likely a dominant transport route to waterways in urban areas. While …
