Microplastic pollution lingers in rivers for years before entering oceans

Water dynamics can trap lightweight microplastics that otherwise might float

Microplastics can deposit and linger in riverbeds for as long as seven years before washing into the ocean, a new study has found. The research was supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Because rivers are in near-constant motion, researchers …
