Microplastics can be found everywhere in nature—from drinking water to clouds in the atmosphere—but scientists have yet to fully uncover how severely they impact the environment or the precise factors driving their buildup. A new study published by researchers at Penn State offers a fresh view of how microplastics traverse and influence watersheds, such as rivers and streams, across Pennsylvania and the world at large.
