Abstract Stormwater ponds serve as best management practices to trap or remove both physical and chemical pollutants before further discharge of stormwater into receiving natural waterbodies. can therefore accumulate high levels pollutants, including microplastics (MP) microrubber (MR) from road runoff. It was hypothesized that biota in receive large amounts runoff, are proximity roadways major developments, would contain significant MP per individual, with abundances tire particles (TP)....
What’s in Our Waters Jr. (WOW Jr.) is an environmental outreach program designed to teach fourth grade elementary students about watershed protection. This unique because of the partnership that brings together students, teachers, scientists, and water resource professionals promote science education stewardship classroom through mentorship hands-on learning activities. WOW co-led by Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service (4-H Youth Development Water Resources Programs)...
Microrubber (MR) encompasses all tire-related particles in the micro-scale and has recently drawn increased attention as a subclass of broader group microplastics. While tire have entered environment since introduction rubber tires, concern regarding wear (TWP) an environmental contaminant is relatively new. Recent studies examined acute toxicity MR leachates to variety organisms. However, there lack information on long-term effects particle exposure under environmentally realistic...
