Microplastics are emerging contaminants in the freshwater environment. This issue was brought to light by the addition of primary plastics to personal care products that have since been phased out. The search for microbeads in water highlighted other microplastic pollution. Our lab has a field study planned for Summer 2018 that involves source tracking towards preventing the spread of these pollutants environmental systems. Research will take place in the field and laboratory to address this water quality issue.
