Great to see that data from lake studies can be further developed to understand also other transport pathways of microplastics.

This study provides novel insights into microplastic retention in drinking water reservoirs & underscores the vulnerability of such systems to episodic transport events.

💡 The surface charge of particles larger than 10 microns can't be studied like small colloidal particles using electrophoretic mobility.

Streaming potential method allows to study this crucial parameter for environmental relevant particles!
