LAND USE PATTERN AFFECTS MICROPLASTIC CONCENTRATIONS IN STORMWATER DRAINS IN URBAN CATCHMENTS IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Land Use Pattern Affects Microplastic Concentrations in Stormwater Drains in Urban Catchments in Perth, Western Australia

Stormwater drains act as important vectors for microplastics, enabling the transportation of microplastic polymers from terrestrial systems where they are produced and consumed to aquatic and marine ecosystems.In this study, microplastic concentrations and their size fractions were measured in six stormwater catchments in the Perth and Peel region
