Urban areas play a key role in the production of microplastics (MPs) and their entry into water bodies. This article reviews literature on sources, transport, control MPs urban environments with aim clarifying mechanisms underlying these processes. Major MP sources include atmospheric deposition, micro-litter, tire road wear particles (TRWPs). deposited from atmosphere are mostly fibers may be particularly important catchments without traffic. Littering attrition textiles plastic products is another source. However, quantities originating this source hard to estimate. TRWPs significant arguably best quantified The mobilization poorly understood but it appears that dry unconsolidated sediments deposits most readily mobilized. Sequestration occurs green understood. Consequently, some authors consider green/pervious parts sinks. Field studies have shown appreciable removal stormwater quality facilities. Street cleaning snow also remove (particularly TRWPs), efficacy measures unknown. Among management facilities, biofiltration/retention units seem more effectively than facilities relying settling. knowledge remains incomplete. Finally, although 13 research papers reported concentrations stormwater, total number field samples examined was only 189. Moreover, results not necessarily comparable because they based relatively small numbers differ widely terms objectives, sites, analytical methods, size fractions, polymers, even terminology. area can thus considered "data-poor" offers great opportunities for further many areas.

Microplastics and Tire Wear Particles in Urban Stormwater: Abundance, Characteristics, and Potential Mitigation Strategies

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 57(34), P. 12829 - 12837

Published: Aug. 14, 2023

Stormwater has been identified as a pathway for microplastics (MPs), including tire wear particles (TWPs), into aquatic habitats. Our knowledge of the abundance MPs in urban stormwater and potential strategies to control is still limited. In this study, samples were collected from microlitter capture devices (inlet outlet) during rain events. Sediment material captured device inlet outlet constructed wetland. MP (>25 μm) concentration varied across different locations ranging 3.8 59 MPs/L raw 1.8 32 treated stormwater, demonstrating decrease after passage through (35-88% removal). TWPs comprised ∼95% all particles, followed by polypropylene (PP) poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The ranged 2.5 58 TWPs/L 1450 4740 TWPs/kg sediment, respectively. A higher was found sediment at wetland compared outlet, indicating role wetlands removing stormwater. These findings suggest that both can mitigate transport receiving waterways.
