Contamination issues as a challenge in quality control and quality assurance in microplastics analytics

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: Microplastics are widely distributed environmental contaminants requiring strict contamination control measures for sampling and assessment. Most studies only comply with a fraction of these measures, indicating a need for improvement in research standards.

Holistic Assessment of Microplastics and Other Anthropogenic Microdebris in an Urban Bay Sheds Light on Their Sources and Fate

Xia Zhu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the presence of microplastics and anthropogenic microdebris in San Francisco Bay, with higher concentrations in the bay compared to adjacent national marine sanctuaries. The fate of microdebris varies based on morphology and density, with different types observed in different matrices. Stormwater is identified as a significant pathway of microdebris, with concentrations much higher than those found in wastewater.

Urban Stormwater Runoff: A Major Pathway for Anthropogenic Particles, Black Rubbery Fragments, and Other Types of Microplastics to Urban Receiving Waters

Larissa M. Werbowski et al.

Summary: The study found that urban stormwater runoff contains microplastics and other anthropogenic debris, with concentrations higher than wastewater treatment plant effluent, impacting aquatic ecosystems. Fibers and rubber fragments were the most common morphologies, indicating a need for prioritizing stormwater mitigation strategies. Rain gardens were shown to effectively remove microplastics and other debris, suggesting their potential as a mitigation strategy for microplastic pollution.
