Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

The rapidly rising output and mass use of plastics have made plastics pollution a major
environmental problem. Since plastics are persistent in the environment, understanding the …

Water treatment plants' effluents are hotspots of microplastics (MPs) and microfibres (MFs)
released into the aquatic environment because they were not designed to capture these …

Microplastics (MPs) in rainwater/stormwater environments pose significant threats to the
aquatic environment. This study presents a comprehensive review of the abundance …

Stormwater is a major contributor to microplastic (MP) pollution in the aquatic environment.
Although MPs are associated with many toxicological effects, their levels in stormwater are …

Wastewater and stormwater are both considered as critical pathways contributing
microplastics (MPs) to the aquatic environment. However, there is little information in the …

The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the sediments of a stormwater treatment pond
was studied to gain knowledge on how these facilities protect the natural environment …

Stormwater control measures (SCM) can remove and accumulate microplastics and may
serve as a long-term source of microplastics for groundwater pollution because of their …

Highway stormwater (HSW) runoff is a significant pathway for transferring microplastics from
land-based sources to the other surrounding environmental compartments. Small …

Urban stormwater runoff is an important pathway for the introduction of microplastics and
other anthropogenic pollutants into aquatic environments. Highly variable concentrations of …
