New Study Finds Stormwater Drains Are Key Microplastic Pathway to Coastal Waters
One of the more concerning findings comes from the risk assessment. “While the Pollution Load Index indicated only minor contamination, the Polymer Hazard Index and Potential Ecological Risk Index classified the microplastic pollution as ‘high’ to ‘extremely hazardous,’” said Zhang. “This is largely due to the presence of PVC—a polymer with a high hazard score—which was detected at a stormwater pumping station, likely released from aging pipes and infrastructure.”
