| Title | From Mountain Streams to Urban Rivers: An Assessment of Microplastic Sources and Characteristics |
| Creator | Gustavus, Macy |
| Description | Plastic products are produced and discarded at an alarming rate. Bottles, bags, toys, and clothing break down into tiny plastic pieces called microplastics, ranging in size from an eraser on the top of a pencil to smaller in size than a red blood cell.
