Summary
This study investigates how microplastics concentrations change over a 24-h period and between seasonally high and low flows and learns that pairing measured concentrations with a description of flow conditions at sampling time is a requisite for a robust microplastic literature that allows for comparisons between existing spatial studies and extrapolations to global loads.
